Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal of the bread later.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix, as this can make the loaf dense.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts 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 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

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