Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 1 cup Pure pumpkin puree
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk

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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and molasses. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve plain or with a smear of butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
