Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. Add the sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix everything together with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra cozy flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
  • This bread tastes even better the next day once the spices have fully settled into the crumb.
  • If you want a slightly tangier flavor, substitute the oil with 1/2 cup of melted, cooled butter.
