Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably pure maple syrup)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Add nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top, and sprinkle with cinnamon or sugar if preferred.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzled with extra maple syrup or whipped cream.
