Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup dates, chopped
• 0.75 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour 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, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 3

In another medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped dates and walnuts (or pecans) until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy! The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
