Description

This Easy Pumpkin Bread is the best ever! I love the crackly sugared top, and the blend of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves are just right.

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan, and line with parchment paper if desired (for easy removal later)
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
In another bowl, whisk together sugars, oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture and stir by hand until incorporated. Do not over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar evenly over the top.
Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely and then store in an airtight container.
