Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve your Yummy Yummy Pumpkin Bread plain or with a spread of butter. Enjoy!
