Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (Libby’s recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, and water.
- Gradually fold in the pumpkin puree into the wet mixture.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake for 30 minutes for mini loaves, or 55 minutes for a large loaf. Check for doneness using a toothpick.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Be sure to measure your flour accurately to avoid a dense loaf.

- If you prefer a sweeter bread, increase the sugar by ½ cup.
