Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 15-ounce can canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your desired baking dish: two standard loaf pans, muffin tins, or a bundt pan. If using muffin tins, line them with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until fully combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using optional mix-ins (nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips), fold them gently into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans, muffin tins, or bundt pan. Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 7

For loaves: bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For muffins: bake for 20-25 minutes. For a bundt cake: bake for 60-75 minutes. Adjust based on your oven, checking for doneness starting at the lower time range.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing or serving.

Step 9

Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
