Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, gently stirring with a rubber spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula for an even bake.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
  7. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter as this can make the bread tough.
  • Make sure the pumpkin puree is pure and unsweetened for best results.
  • You can add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
  • This bread stores well at room temperature and can also be frozen for longer storage.
  • For a more pronounced spice flavor, increase cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
