Ingredients

  • Pumpkin Puree: 1 cup
  • All-Purpose Flour: 1 ¾ cups
  • Granulated Sugar: ¾ cup
  • Brown Sugar: ¼ cup, packed
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Vegetable Oil: ½ cup
  • Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon
  • Baking Powder: ½ teaspoon
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground Nutmeg: ¼ teaspoon
  • Ground Cloves: ⅛ teaspoon
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, both sugars, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Sprinkle in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Gently stir until just combined — don’t overmix!
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Assemble the Dish: If desired, sprinkle a bit of raw sugar or chopped nuts on top for texture.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve as is, or toast lightly and spread with butter, cream cheese, or nut butter.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Let it cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
  • Sprinkle raw sugar on top before baking for a crunchy finish.
  • Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for variations.
