Ingredients for Autumn Bread

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

How to Make Autumn Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup dried cranberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
