Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup sugar (or brown sugar)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl until well combined.
- Combine the sugar and vegetable oil in a separate bowl until fully combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh spices for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the batter for a light texture.
