Ingredients
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 15 ounces Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil until well combined. Stir in the pumpkin puree.

Combine Wet and Dry

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Add Nuts (Optional)

If using, stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with foil.

Cool

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQ

  • How do I store pumpkin bread?

    Store pumpkin bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
  • Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

    No, you should use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling contains added spices and sugar that will alter the taste and texture of the bread.
  • Can I add chocolate chips?

    Yes, chocolate chips are a delicious addition! Stir in about 1 cup of chocolate chips along with the nuts (if using).
