Ingredients

Before we dive into the heart of the recipe, let’s gather our essentials:

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 pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Now that we’ve got our ingredients, let’s get baking:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set that aside.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
If you’re feeling it, fold in those nuts and raisins or chocolate chips for that extra flavor.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once your pumpkin bread is cool, slice it up and enjoy that deliciousness! It’s great served warm, with a little butter or cream cheese, or just on its own. Happy baking, y’all! Your fall gatherings just got sweeter!
