Classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
• 120ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 250g (1 cup) canned pumpkin puree
• 60ml (1/4 cup) water or apple juice
• 200g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
• 5g (1 tsp) baking soda
• 3g (1/2 tsp) baking powder
• 5g (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
• 2g (1/2 tsp) ground nutmeg
• 2g (1/2 tsp) salt
• 50g (1/2 cup) chopped nuts (optional)
• 50g (1/2 cup) raisins (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan with a bit of vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree and water (or apple juice) until smooth.

Step 3: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Make sure they are well blended to maintain the consistency of the bread.

Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring gently with a spatula. Do not over mix; combine until the batter is just moistened. If you’re using nuts and raisins, fold them into the mixture gently ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring onto a cooling rack. Let it cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture.

Conclusion: Congratulations, you’ve baked a heavenly loaf of pumpkin bread that embodies the essence of fall with every bite. This bread is perfect as a breakfast option, a midday snack, or even a dessert paired with a dollop of whipped cream. As you enjoy your freshly baked pumpkin bread, remember the magic of creating something so profound from simple ingredients.
