Coffee Can Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ tsp baking powder
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
– ½ tsp ground nutmeg
– ½ tsp ground cloves
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup brown sugar
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
– Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 20-ounce empty coffee can with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared coffee can, filling it about 2/3 full. Tap the can gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
7. Place the coffee can on a baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the can for 10 minutes before carefully unmolding it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once completely cooled, slice and serve your Coffee Can Pumpkin Bread. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat!
