Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir to combine and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using optional nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve plain, or with butter, cream cheese, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra treat.
