Instructions
Creating this delicious Pumpkin Chai Bread involves following these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.
5. Add Nuts: If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for an added crunch.
6. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice the bread and serve.
