Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, you can swap half the vegetable oil for unsweetened applesauce. Adding walnuts or pecans will provide extra crunch. Keep it fresh by storing in an airtight container; it lasts about a week at room temperature.
