Learn how to make delicious Easy Pumpkin Bread. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s dive into the ingredients that make this pumpkin bread a family favorite. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Feel free to substitute the brown sugar with coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor, or add in some chopped pecans if you like a bit of crunch!

Instructions

Making this bread is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: My mom always said, “A watched pot never boils,” and the same goes for baking. Resist the temptation to open the oven door too often!
