Description

This pumpkin bread is moist and flavorful, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (1 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and flour three 7×3-inch loaf pans and set them aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, eggs, water, oil, butter, and extract with a spoon/spatula or a hand mixer until well combined.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Divide the batter evenly between the three pans, smoothing the top.
  5. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 25-30 minutes before carefully transferring the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely.
