Not Your Mother's Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:

Gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Ensure everything is combined smoothly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your bread tender.
  6. If you’re adding nuts, fold them in gently at this stage.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, let the pumpkin bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
