Directions:

1. Prepping Your Ingredients:

Let’s start with prepration of Spiced Pumpkin Walnut Bread by preparing your ingredients.

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a small, dry frypan, toast the chopped walnuts over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Let them cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

2. Mixing the Batter:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil until well combined and smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay.
  • Gently fold in the toasted chopped walnuts.

3. Baking the Spiced Pumpkin Walnut Bread:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with a piece of aluminum foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
  • Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired before slicing and serving.
