Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

Step 4

Mix in the pumpkin puree until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

On low speed, gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. If using, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
