Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.5 cups buttermilk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups optional: 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, combine the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve the pumpkin oat bread as is, or with butter or cream cheese. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
