Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Loaf pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a loaf pan with oil or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure not to overmix the batter to ensure a light and fluffy texture. For added flavor, consider mixing in a half cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips before baking. Additionally, if you find the top browning too quickly, cover the loaf pan with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
