1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs (room temperature)

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (Libby’s recommended)
Optional:
1 cup raisins
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
¼ cup brown sugar (sprinkle on top)
1–2 cups chocolate chips
Cream cheese frosting
Additional spices: ginger, cloves, pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease 4 mini loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan.
3. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Whisk in eggs, oil, and water.
5. Fold in pumpkin puree and any optional add-ins.
6. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.

Notes
Don’t overmix the batter—stir until just combined.
Use room-temperature eggs for better mixing.
Check mini loaves at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Wrap cooled loaves well to store or freeze.
Reheat slices in the microwave for 15–20 seconds for best flavor.
