How to Make Pumpkin Bread
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 325 °F and set an oven rack in the middle. Line with parchment paper or grease (two) 8 x 4-inch loaf pans with butter and dust with flour; alternatively, use a baking spray. Set aside. In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, ground cinnamon, allspice, ground ginger, and nutmeg; set aside.
Whisk the pumpkin purée, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and oil in a large bowl until well combined. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients, and fold until combined and no streaks of flour remain (a few lumps are ok).
Fold in any additional ingredients if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pans, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until golden brown and puffed in the center, and a toothpick tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, anywhere from 65 to 75 minutes.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
