Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (can substitute melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (toasted), ½ cup chocolate chips or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly. Lining it with parchment paper helps with easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold until just combined. If adding nuts, chocolate chips, or cranberries, fold them in now.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes. Check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s done. If not, bake 5-10 minutes more.
  7. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use oil instead of butter to keep bread moist. Do not overmix batter to avoid toughness. Toast spices for 1-2 minutes to deepen aroma. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let bread cool before slicing to prevent crumbling. For muffins, reduce baking time to 20-25 minutes.
