You can create a deeply comforting, moist pumpkin bread loaf using this simple, one-bowl recipe. This quick bread is packed with warm fall spices and is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or holiday gifting.

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
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 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, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and results in a tough loaf.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the pumpkin bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the batter before pouring it into the pan.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup of regular milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • This tender pumpkin loaf tastes even better the next day after the spices have fully melded into the loaf.
