Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup unsulfured molasses
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 1 medium apple, peeled and diced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the molasses, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the buttermilk until the batter is smooth. Fold in the diced apple gently with a spatula.

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 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf 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 serve as is, or enjoy with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
