Pumpkin Bread
This easy and delicious Pumpkin Bread is perfect for cozy gatherings and pairs wonderfully with coffee!
Ingredients
- 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda sifted to avoid lumps
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves optional
- 1 cup extra light olive oil or corn or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Prepare two bread pans measuring 8 1/2"x4 1/2" by greasing them and lightly dusting with flour.
- In a large bowl, mix all your dry ingredients: the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Make sure everything is combined well.
- In another bowl, whisk together your wet ingredients, which include the eggs, oil, and pumpkin puree.
- Combine the wet mix with your dry blend, stirring until you have a smooth batter. Then, divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10-15 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
