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
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the canned pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and raisins until evenly distributed throughout 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 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, slice the spiced pumpkin bread and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
