Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 cups pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cups chopped dark chocolate (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing the batter.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped pecans and dark chocolate for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
