Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 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)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a light texture.
- If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store properly wrapped at room temperature.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh pumpkin purée.
- Mix batter until just combined to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Adjust spice levels to your liking.
- Reduce sugar if you prefer a less sweet bread.
- Check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
