It’s from Natasha’s Kitchen (a very popular, highly rated version often called “the best” or “seriously the best” pumpkin bread). The abbreviated list on the image is incomplete—the full recipe includes salt, optional spices, and vanilla, plus clear instructions and baking details.
Pumpkin Bread (makes 2 loaves)
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 45–55 minutes
Total: about 1 hour
Servings: 16 slices (2 loaves)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda (sifted to remove lumps)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves (optional)
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup extra-light olive oil (or vegetable/canola/corn oil)
- 15 oz pumpkin puree (one standard can—use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional add-ins: 1 cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or dates.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and lightly flour two 8½″ × 4½″ loaf pans (or use baking spray with flour).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves (if using), nutmeg (if using), and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined and smooth (a few small lumps are fine—do not overmix).
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes (typically around 50 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Bake times can vary slightly depending on your oven and pan color (darker pans bake a bit faster).
- Cool in the pans for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Oil (not butter) keeps the crumb extra soft and moist, even after a few days.
- Use pure pumpkin puree only.
- For one loaf, simply cut all ingredients in half.
- Store covered at room temperature 3–5 days, or freeze (wrapped well) up to 3 months.
- Delicious plain, with butter, honey butter, or cream cheese.
This matches the exact amounts on your image and produces the moist, warmly spiced loaf shown. Enjoy!
