    Spiced Pumpkin Bread - Andrea Meyers

    Pumpkin reigns supreme in our home during the holiday season—pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin soup, you name it. This pumpkin bread, a favorite from Bon Appétit, is easy to whip up during the busy season. The top crust is slightly crispy and the middle is moist and tender. The first time I made it, my family polished off an entire loaf in one evening.

    The recipe makes two loaves, so you have one to eat and one to give away. The loaves also freeze well, just wrap in plastic wrap and store in a gallon freezer bag.

    Equipment

    • stand mixer with paddle attachment
    • medium bowl
    • 2 (9x5x3-inch) loaf pans, greased and floured

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 cup sunflower oil
    • 3 large eggs
    • 15 ounces canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
    • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
    US Customary - Metric

    Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 350°F/175° C.
    • In the stand mixer bowl, beat the sugar and oil. Add the eggs and pumpkin and mix on low until thoroughly combined.
    • In the other bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss the walnuts with the flour mixture, and then fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. Stir just until the dry ingredients are combined.
    • Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit in the pans for about 10 minutes. Run a plastic knife around the edges of the bread to release it from the pan, and turn the loaves out onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Keep loaves in the refrigerator.
