This pumpkin bread is soft, warmly spiced, and simple to make, filling your kitchen with the scent of cinnamon and clove.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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 clove
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, and optionally line the bottom with parchment for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60–70 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick at 60 minutes.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Serve slices warm with butter or cream cheese. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
