Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the spices and leavening agents are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the pumpkin bread plain, with a spread of butter, or alongside a warm beverage.
