Classic Pumpkin Bread with Walnuts

A moist, spiced, and crunchy pumpkin bread with walnuts recipe that is perfect for fall breakfasts or snacks.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (10 servings) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup water or orange juice
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 4: Stir in the pumpkin puree and water (or orange juice) into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula just until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the toasted walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Step 7: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of walnuts over the top of the batter. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best flavor, toast your walnuts in a skillet for 3 minutes before adding to the batter.
