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 pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

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, and salt.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk briefly to combine.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Mix everything together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the pumpkin 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 texture, use full-fat canned pumpkin puree.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1/4 cup of regular milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
