Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour eight mini loaf pans or use non-stick mini loaf pans.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Mix Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Combine Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser bread.

Bake:

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

Cool:

Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:

Serve the mini pumpkin bread loaves warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
