Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup melted salted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup pure pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9 x 5 x 2.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted salted butter and granulated sugar. Beat them together until well combined. Then add the eggs, pumpkin puree, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and continue beating until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature.
- This bread can be frozen for up to three months.
