Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ½ cup walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, combine canned pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Optional: brush with melted butter to lock in moisture.
Notes
- Use 100% pure canned pumpkin for best results; avoid pumpkin pie filling.
- Adding extra pumpkin puree can enhance moisture.
- Avoid overmixing to keep the bread moist and tender.
- For extra flavor, consider brushing with melted butter after baking.
