Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, then line it with parchment paper for easy loaf removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 0.5 teaspoon baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves, and 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup pure pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 0.5 cup light brown sugar, 0.5 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 0.25 cup pure orange juice, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until fully smooth.
- Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry flour mixture. Gently fold with a rubber spatula just until combined, taking care not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto the rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Tent the loaf loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes if the top browns before the center is done.
For 12 muffins, bake 20 to 24 minutes.
