Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts, as well as the raisins or chocolate chips, for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 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 about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice the bread and serve as is, or spread with butter or cream cheese for added indulgence. Enjoy the flavors of autumn!
