Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 15oz canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted & cooled
  • 3 eggs whisked
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 & 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds toasted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a stand mixer or large bowl combine the white and brown sugars, pumpkin puree, and butter. Whisk together until smooth.
  • Add in the eggs, mix until incorporated. Next, add in the cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix again until the batter is smooth.
  • Gently fold the flour into the batter using a spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and gently press them into the batter to ensure they stick.
  • Place the loaf pan onto a baking sheet and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Let the pumpkin bread cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
