Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 230 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 200 g white granulated sugar
  • 70 ml buttermilk at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 300 g pumpkin puree
  • 50 g unsalted butter melted
  • 40 g vegetable oil such as canola oil
  • Pepitas for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175C or 350F and line a 9x5-inch (23x13cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Into a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, butter, oil, buttermilk, eggs, and pumpkin purée. Whisk well until homogenous in consistency.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until no dry ingredients are left.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with pepitas, and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool down for 15 minutes in the loaf pan. Then transfer onto a cooling rack to cool down completely.

Notes

Store it in an air-tight container lined with paper towels at room temperature up for 4 days. If you frost your pumpkin bread with frosting, store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
 
Freeze it (sliced or whole) in a freezer bag (or plastic wrap) wrapped in a piece of foil for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
