Description
This easy pumpkin bread is loaded with warm fall spices and pure pumpkin flavor. Super moist, perfect for breakfast, dessert, or snacking all season long.
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
15 oz pumpkin purée
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF and line two 8×4 inch loaf pans with parchment paper or grease them well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, allspice, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin purée, oil, and water until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened—do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
No electric mixer required—this is a simple, mix-by-hand recipe.
Cover loosely with foil halfway through baking if the tops are browning too fast.
Start checking for doneness at 50 minutes; baking times can vary.
Bread is even more flavorful the day after baking.
Keeps well for several days when stored properly.
