A moist and tender pumpkin bread bursting with warm fall spices, perfect for sharing and accommodating mix-ins like nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 15 oz pumpkin purée
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two 8×4-inch loaf pans with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, and water until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moistened, avoiding overmixing.
  5. If using mix-ins (nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips), toss them with a little flour and fold into the batter just before baking.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. If the tops brown too quickly near the end of baking, tent the loaves loosely with foil for the remaining time.
  9. Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.
  10. Transfer the loaves to wire racks and cool completely.

Notes

Measure your flour by spooning it into your measuring cup and leveling it to avoid dense bread., Mix wet and dry ingredients just until combined to prevent tough bread., Use pure canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling; drain excess water if homemade., If tops brown too quickly, tent with foil to prevent burning., Check doneness starting at 50 minutes using a toothpick for moist crumbs., Toss nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips in flour before folding to avoid sinking., Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack to keep slices intact.
