Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1.25 cups Sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar and oil mixture, whisking well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 7

If using, fold in the walnuts or pecans gently with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
