A simple and moist pumpkin bread recipe perfect for fall baking. This one-bowl quick bread is filled with warm spices and is easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
  4. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra moist loaf, ensure you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
  • You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
