- Ingredients:
- 14
- Yields:
-
1 loaf
- Serves:
- 8-10
ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon table salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (1 stick)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped coarse
- 1 cup dried cranberries (optional)
directions
- Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil spray.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger together in a large bowl. Whisk the pumpkin, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a separate bowl until frothy.
- Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in the nuts and cranberries (if using). The batter will be very thick.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding onto a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
