Equipment

  • 9 x 5 loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon all spice or cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin pureé or pure pumpkin
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar*
  • 3/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds + more if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly coat a 9x5" loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line pan with parchment, leaving some overhang on both long sides so you can easily pull out the bread later. 
  • Using a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, kosher salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, add in the pumpkin purée and the sugar and whisk/stir until all combined.
  • While whisking, pour in the olive oil, whisking continuously until well combined. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until completely combined, but do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and top with the brown sugar and pumpkin seeds. Bake in your oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean, for about 60 to 70 minutes. 
  • Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove from loaf pan and cool the loaf completely on a wire rack. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

*use 1 1/2 cups sugar if you want the bread sweeter. I think 1 cup works just fine but if you want more sugar, add the 1 1/2 cups
