Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. This combines your dry ingredients.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable for a tender loaf.
  5. If using, gently fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips now.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time varies by oven.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra moist loaf, use buttermilk instead of oil, reducing the amount to 1/2 cup and adding 1/4 cup of buttermilk.
  • This bread tastes even better the next day once the spices have fully developed.
  • If you do not have individual spices, use 2 teaspoons of pre-mixed pumpkin pie spice blend.
