  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes – 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (8-12 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (425g)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the long sides.
  2. Step 2: Mix dry ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps of brown sugar.
  3. Step 3: Mix wet ingredients – In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Combine wet and dry – Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the flour mixture is moistened and no streaks of dry flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Pour batter into pan – Pour the batter evenly into your prepared loaf pan.
  6. Step 6: Bake – Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Step 7: Cool – Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Step 8: Serve – Slice and enjoy your delicious homemade pumpkin bread!

Notes

For extra indulgence, fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) into the batter before baking.
