Pumpkin bread is a classic American quick bread that became popular in the 20th century as canned pumpkin puree entered home kitchens. The Pioneer Woman’s take on this traditional favorite delivers a rich, moist texture with balanced sweetness and warm spices. It’s the kind of recipe that never fails — perfect for holidays or everyday baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Wet ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter or oil.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

Step 3: Combine wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Combine mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread soft and tender.

Step 5: Bake the bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and serve

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
