Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger until well combined and evenly distributed.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, large eggs, Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin puree, and water until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender bread texture.
Bake: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, indicating doneness.
Cool: Once baked, allow the loaves to cool in their pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread texture.
Check the bread with a toothpick inserted in the center to ensure it’s fully baked.
Store pumpkin bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
For extra flavor, consider adding a half cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
