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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the vegetable oil and eggs together until smooth. Stir in the canned pumpkin puree and water, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread.
- If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can increase sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
- Store pumpkin bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
