Ingredients

Scale

1⅓ cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ cup vegetable oil

2 eggs (room temperature)

⅓ cup water

1 cup Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin (not pie filling)

Optional: 1 cup raisins

Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Optional: 1–2 cups chocolate chips

Optional: ¼ cup brown sugar for sprinkling

Optional: cream cheese frosting (after cooling)

Optional: additional spices like ground ginger, cloves, or pumpkin pie spice


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.

3. Whisk in eggs, oil, and water until just combined.

4. Fold in the Libby’s pumpkin until batter is smooth.

5. Stir in any optional add-ins, if using.

6. Grease 4 mini loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan.

7. Pour batter evenly into pan(s).

8. Bake for 30 minutes (mini) or 55 minutes (large), until a toothpick comes out clean.

9. Let cool fully before slicing or topping.

Notes

Use only pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

Measure flour after sifting for accuracy.

Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.

Check early to prevent overbaking.

Store at room temperature for 4 days, or refrigerate up to 6 days.

Freeze whole loaves or slices for up to 3 months.

Delicious plain or with butter, honey, or maple syrup.
