Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Spices and Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Harmonize the oven temperature to 350°F and tenderly coat a standard loaf vessel with a light protective layer of grease.
- In a spacious mixing basin, delicately whisk together the foundational dry elements: flour, leavening agents, warm spices, cream of tartar, and subtle salt crystals.
- Create a vibrant wet mixture in a companion bowl, gently blending granulated and brown sugars with eggs, velvety pumpkin puree, liquid gold (oil), and aromatic vanilla until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gradually cascade the dry ingredient ensemble into the liquid landscape, folding with minimal agitation to preserve the bread’s tender architecture.
- Transfer the luxurious batter into the prepared loaf sanctuary, artfully dusting the surface with a lavish sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar crystalline topping.
- Nestle the pan into the preheated oven’s warm embrace, allowing the bread to transform for 50-60 minutes until a slender wooden probe emerges pristine and clean.
- Allow the freshly baked treasure to rest and settle within its pan for a brief ten-minute interlude before gracefully migrating to a cooling rack, where it can complete its textural refinement.
Notes
- Swap out regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring similar texture and taste.
- Use coconut oil or applesauce as healthier alternatives to vegetable oil to reduce overall fat content.
- For enhanced moisture, add extra pumpkin puree or mix in Greek yogurt, preventing dry bread texture.
- Create dairy-free version by using plant-based egg replacer and almond milk instead of traditional eggs and dairy ingredients.
