Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 tsp (5g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp (1g) ground cloves
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until no clumps remain.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Using a spatula, fold the mixture together until just combined; stop as soon as no dry flour streaks remain to keep the crumb tender.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
