Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 cups walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in the pumpkin puree, freshly grated ginger, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Mix in the milk to loosen the batter, folding gently until incorporated. If using nuts, fold them in at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
