Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just incorporated. Add milk if the batter is too thick.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variation.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  • For muffins, bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes.
  • To avoid dryness, don’t overmix or overbake.
