Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
• 0.25 cup Crystallized ginger, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if there are a few small lumps.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and crystallized ginger, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
