Description
This moist and warmly spiced pumpkin bread delivers cozy fall flavors in every slice. Easy, one-bowl, and perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup canned pumpkin purée
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup neutral oil (like avocado or vegetable)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Stir in optional mix-ins if using.
Pour into pan, smooth top, and tap gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice when fully cooled.
Notes
Do not use pumpkin pie filling—it contains added sugar and spices.
For extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
Freezes beautifully—slice before freezing for grab-and-go treats.
