Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix everything together with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice and serve this moist pumpkin bread.

Notes

  • For an extra moist loaf, check the bread at 55 minutes and cover the top loosely with foil if it is browning too quickly.
  • You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a slight flavor change.
  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the batter before baking for added texture.
