Equipment
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 2 loaf pans
Ingredients
  
  • 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs remember to take them out of the fridge beforehand
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F while you prepare the batter, as well as the loaf pans.
  • The recommended size of the loaf pan for the amount of batter you'll get if you follow the exact measurements of this recipe is 9 1/2 x 5 1/4 in.
  • Prepare the loaf pans by lining them with some parchment paper or greasing them with a little bit of butter.
  • In case you decide to use the butter, remember to dust some flour over the pan’s surface to keep the batter from sticking to it.
  • Grab a large mixing bowl, where you'll combine all the batter ingredients.
  • Add in all the dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and your spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves).
  • Mix all the dry ingredients well before you pour in the wet ingredients.
  • Add in the pumpkin puree, as well as the oil. Then, stir the mixture well before adding the eggs.
  • Add the eggs one by one, making sure to whisk all the ingredients together, creating a cohesive batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the loaf pans you prepared before. Then, bake the pumpkin bread at 350 degrees F for about an hour.
  • To test the doneness of your bread, stick a toothpick in the middle of the bread. If it comes out clean, it means that your bread is cooked all the way through.
  • As we've mentioned, it is recommended not to overbake your bread, so take it out of the oven as soon as it's done.
  • Allow the pumpkin bread to cool at room temperature in loaf pans for a couple of minutes before flipping the pans and taking the loaves out.
  • We recommend letting the loaves cool down completely at room temperature before cutting and serving the bread.
