• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If using nuts, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
