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 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix them together gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable. Overmixing develops gluten and reduces moisture.
  5. Fold in the sour cream or yogurt until it is evenly distributed into the batter. This ingredient helps keep the bread tender.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using oil instead of butter contributes significantly to the bread’s lasting moisture.
  • For an even richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with 1/4 cup of almond flour.
  • If you are planning meals for the week, this bread is excellent for simple meal planning as it keeps well.
  • To keep this bread moist longer, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap once fully cooled before storing at room temperature.
