Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the cranberries and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve as is or with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
