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

  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra flavor and texture, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  • This bread freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Use canned pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
