Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups canned pumpkin puree
• 3 quarters granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups dried cranberries
• 0.75 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Carefully fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts (or pecans) using a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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