Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/3 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and water until smooth.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store the bread wrapped in plastic wrap or tin foil at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For the best texture, avoid overmixing the batter after adding the flour.
