Delicious Pumpkin Bread

This moist, spiced loaf is packed with real pumpkin and warm cinnamon flavor—your kitchen will smell like fall heaven. Bake one for now, and one to share (or freeze!).

Ingredients

Scale

3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

3 cups white sugar

2 tsp baking soda

1 ½ tsp salt

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 cups mashed fresh pumpkin (boiled or roasted)

1 cup vegetable oil

⅔ cup water

4 large eggs

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs until smooth.

Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in walnuts if using.

Divide batter between prepared pans.

Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
