🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the rack is in the center position for even baking.
- Prepare the Loaf Pan: Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Alternatively, you can use baking spray with flour already in it for a no-fuss option.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make sure there are no clumps!
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup water. Ensure everything is well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few streaks of flour are okay. Overmixing can lead to a tough bread, and nobody wants that!
- Add Nuts (Optional): If desired, gently fold in 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. I personally love the added crunch!
- Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it. A slightly gooey center is alright; it will firm up as it cools.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bread from sticking and breaking.
- Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice and serve. It’s fantastic on its own, but even better with a pat of butter or a dollop of cream cheese. Consider serving a warm slice with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top, or even a light glaze for an extra treat!
- Optional Glaze (if desired): While the bread is cooling, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread. The zing of lemon adds a bright contrast to the warm spices. Store any leftover glazed bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator due to the glaze.
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- Add chocolate chips for a fun twist!
