Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 1.5 cups fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
- 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 large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and orange juice until smooth.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and, if using, the chopped nuts until 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 60-65 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 before slicing.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. This bread also freezes well for longer storage.
