Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Blend the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake: Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
  • Wrap cooled loaf tightly for storage—it tastes even better the next day.
