How to Make Super Easy Pumpkin Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup water.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For muffins: Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
