- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vegetable oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut oil for vegetable oil for a slightly different flavor.
- This bread tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
