Description
This no-fail Libby's Pumpkin Bread recipe yields an incredibly moist, perfectly spiced loaf that captures the true essence of fall, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/4 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour one 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, large eggs, and water.
Step 4: Add the entire can of Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 5: Gradually pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.
Step 6: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared loaf pan.
Step 7: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 8: Let the pumpkin bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto the rack to cool completely. Slice and serve once cooled.
Notes
For an extra touch, you can add 1 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) to the batter in Step 5. Ensure you use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
