1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
3. In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, sugars, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Gradually stir in the dry mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best texture and taste.
Don’t overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the bread soft.
Cool the loaf completely before slicing for clean cuts and better texture.
