  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture gradually, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in optional chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the crust darkens too quickly.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra moistness, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat slices in the microwave or toast for served freshness.
