Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp table salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, grease either 4 mini loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan with a bit of oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking later on.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, table salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. This blends the leavening agents and spices evenly into the flour, ensuring a consistent flavor throughout the bread.
  3. Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and water to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is just combined and all the flour mixture is moistened, but be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.
  4. Fold in Pumpkin Puree: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until the batter is uniformly orange and no streaks of flour remain to keep the bread tender.
  5. Pour Batter into Pans and Bake: Evenly divide the batter among your prepared mini loaf pans or pour all of it into your large loaf pan. Place the pans in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes if making mini loaves or around 55 minutes for a large loaf, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin bread! For an extra treat, serve with a pat of butter while still warm.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pumpkin bread.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree for best texture and flavor.
  • You can bake the batter in either 4 mini loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan.
  • A toothpick test confirms when the bread is fully baked.
  • Serve warm with butter for extra indulgence.
  • Optional additions like cranberries or nuts can be folded into the batter for variation.
  • Mini loaves bake faster (approx. 30 minutes) than a large loaf (approx. 55 minutes).
