Delicious Cranberry-Walnut Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries (or dried cranberries)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

9 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well.

    Make sure there are no lumps in the pumpkin.
  3. Add Eggs

    Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.

    Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

    Sift the flour for a lighter bread.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Don't overmix to keep the bread fluffy.
  6. Fold in Add-ins

    Gently fold in cranberries and walnuts until evenly distributed.

    Reserve some cranberries for topping if desired.
  7. Pour into Loaf Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

    Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  8. Bake

    Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Cool and Serve

    Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Slice when completely cooled for neat slices.
