- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. For even easier removal, you can line the bottom of the pan with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Ensure there are no large lumps of flour or spices so that the flavor is evenly distributed.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until smooth. Whisk in the vegetable oil and the pumpkin puree until the mixture is fully combined and has a uniform orange color.
- Slowly add the dry flour mixture into the wet pumpkin mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This helps the structure set. Carefully remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
