Description
A moist and tender pumpkin bread with a rich blend of spices, perfect for fall or any time of the year.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (such as libby’s)
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup mild oil (such as extra virgin olive oil)
- 1 tbsp bourbon or vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice blend
- Oil or nonstick baking spray, for pans
- 3 tbsp sugar, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with oil or nonstick baking spray and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar each.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and bourbon or vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar to the wet ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice blend.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp sugar over the tops.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a stronger flavor, use bourbon instead of vanilla extract.
- You can also make muffins with this batter. Adjust baking time to 20-25 minutes.
