Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve! Enjoy your Halloween or Fall Pumpkin Bread plain, or spread with butter, cream cheese, or maple syrup for an extra treat.
