The Best Pumpkin Bread

My great aunt Pat makes the best pumpkin bread… I finally asked for her recipe and now I know why it’s so good ☺️ Enjoy!

The Best Pumpkin Bread

15 min 60 min 4-6 Servings

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• ½ cup neutral oil (I use avocado oil)
• ½ (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1 ¾ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup water
• Cooking spray, for greasing

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil and pumpkin puree. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and whisk to combine.
4. Add the flour to the egg mixture and gently fold to incorporate. Once you see just streaks of flour, add the water and gently fold again until just combined, it’s ok that there are small lumps in the batter!
5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes in the pan, slice and serve.
