Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.5 cups Optional: Chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk them together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If you're adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter gently at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your delicious pumpkin bread! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
