Ingredients

  • 1½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cip cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour mini loaf pans or spray with nonstick spray with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, pumpkin puree, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, alternating with milk, and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly into mini loaf pans, filling about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Begin checking at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool in pans for 10-15 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or wrap for gifting.

Notes

  • For gifting, wrap in food-safe cellophane and tie with ribbon.

  • Can also be baked as one large loaf — adjust baking time accordingly (about 40-50 minutes).

  • Nuts or chocolate chips can be added (1 to 1½ cups) before baking.
