The BEST Pumpkin Bread (Moist and No Mixer!)
This pumpkin bread combines warm spices with canned pumpkin puree for a moist, tender loaf that requires no mixer. The batter is lightly mixed to keep the crumb soft, while the loaf is baked until the edges pull away from the pan, signaling doneness. Its gentle sweetness and spice make it a suitable quick bread for autumn mornings or snacks.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
- 3 egg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree canned
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9" X 5" X 3" loaf pan with baking spray with flour, or spray with cooking spray and lightly flour the pan, tapping out the excess.
- In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and oil together. Whisk the eggs, one at a time, into the sugar mixture until light and creamy. Add the pumpkin, water, and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the bowl. Whisk the flour into the batter about 28-30 times around the bowl or just until incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean and the edges of the bread pulls away from the pan. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan then turn the bread out and cool on a cooking rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container lined with a paper towel to absorb the moisture, or wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap. The bread will last for 3 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
