Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or raisins)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until combined.

Step 5

If adding optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

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 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf 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 before slicing.

Step 9

Slice, serve, and enjoy the best pumpkin bread you’ve ever tasted!
