Bread Recipe · Spiced Pumpkin Bread

A pumpkin loaf spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg. I came up with this recipe after many failed attempts at pumpkin loaf. I adapted a favorite banana loaf recipe and this was the result. Yum! This recipe yields 3 loaves. Stock your freezer!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups pumpkin puree
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Mix white sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter together in a large bowl. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract; mix in pumpkin until thoroughly combined.
3. Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix flour mixture into pumpkin mixture until incorporated. Pour batter into three 5x9-inch loaf pans. Smooth batter evenly in each pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of each loaf comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
