Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 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 ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter. Dust the pan lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. It’s important not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are acceptable.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
  6. Prepare and Sprinkle Topping: Mix together the 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  7. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes. Start checking at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and avoid toughness.
  • Make sure pumpkin puree is pure pumpkin and not pie filling which contains added sugar and spices.
  • Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative like almond or oat milk.
