Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 2/3 cup apple juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3.5 cups flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray two 9x5 loaf pans with nonstick baker's spray or grease and flour them.
  • Whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, oil, applesauce, apple juice and vanilla in a small bowl.
  • Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in a separate bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing just until everything is blended together.
  • Add any mix-ins, such as nuts, cranberries, or chocolate chips here - fold them in until just incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the loaf pans.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50 – 65 minutes.
  • Allow the loaves to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out onto the rack to cool the rest of the way.
