How to Make Pumpkin Autumn Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped pecans (if using).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
