Delicious Pumpkin Walnut Bread Recipe You’ll Love

Ingredients

Servings:
18
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 cup sugar (can substitute with brown sugar)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for added flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans, toasted if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for extra flavor)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

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

    In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and beaten eggs. Mix until smooth.

    Ensure no lumps remain in the mixture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients

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

    Sift the flour for a lighter bread.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Add Walnuts

    Fold in the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract if using.

    Reserve a few walnuts for topping if desired.
  6. Pour Batter

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

    Sprinkle reserved walnuts on top for added crunch.
  7. Bake

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

    Check for doneness around 60 minutes.
  8. Cool and Serve

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

    Slice when fully cooled for cleaner cuts.
