Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Can substitute with melted coconut oil or apple sauce
  • 2 large eggs Use at room temperature for best results
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Use fresh ground for best flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Use fresh ground for best flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For storage, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for restored texture.
