How to Make Pumpkin Bread The Best I Ve Ever Tasted

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans, or prepare a muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and gently fold until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) and 1/2 cup raisins (optional), folding to distribute evenly.
  6. Divide batter evenly among prepared loaf pans or muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake loaves for 45-50 minutes, or muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Adjust baking time as needed depending on your oven and pan size.
  8. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy immediately or freeze for later. This pumpkin bread freezes beautifully!
