Pumpkin Bread: A Warm and Cozy Treat

Pumpkin bread is a classic fall treat that is sure to warm you up on a chilly day. It is moist and flavorful, with a delicate pumpkin spice flavor. Pumpkin bread is also a good source of fiber and protein, making it a healthier choice than many other sweet treats.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter bread, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar.
  • For a spicier bread, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of each spice.
  • For a richer bread, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • For a vegan bread, use vegan butter and eggs.
