Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, oil, water, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and all the spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until the batter is nice and smooth. Then, gently fold in the pumpkin puree until it’s all blended together. Divide the batter evenly between two loaf pans, and pop them into the oven. Bake for about 35 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when you poke it in the center. Let the bread cool a bit before slicing and enjoying!
Why you’ll love it
This bread is packed with warm spices and rich pumpkin flavor, making every bite comforting and delicious. Its moist texture keeps it fresh for days, perfect for cozy mornings or afternoon snacks. The gentle heat adds a nice kick without overpowering the sweetness.
How to serve
Enjoy a slice warm with a spread of butter or cream cheese. It pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or chai tea. You can also add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Storage & leftovers
Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. To keep it longer, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze individual slices for quick treats later. Thaw frozen slices at room temperature or warm them gently before serving.
