I am happy you found this recipe for incredibly moist pumpkin bread. This simple, one-bowl method delivers a comforting, bakery-style loaf packed with fall spices. It is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and baking powder. This is your dry mixture.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry mixture and whisk briefly to combine.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the well.
  5. Mix everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. This is the one-bowl method for easy cleanup.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra moist pumpkin bread, check the bread at the 50-minute mark. Ovens vary, so watch closely.
  • You can substitute the oil with melted butter for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • If you want to add mix-ins, gently fold in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or chocolate chips after combining the wet and dry ingredients.
