- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (canned or homemade)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C. Grease a 23x13 cm (9x5 inch) loaf pan and set it aside.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the milk to create a smooth batter.
- Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
