1

Gather Your Ingredients

Before we can start baking, let's make sure we have everything we need. Here's what you'll need: flour, sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and some chopped walnuts. Double-check that you have enough of each ingredient, because running to the store halfway through baking isn't exactly fun.

2

Prep Your Pumpkin Puree

If you're using fresh pumpkin, now's the time to turn it into puree. Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds (save them for roasting later - waste not, want not!), and bake the pumpkin halves until they're soft. Once they've cooled down a bit, scoop out the flesh and give it a good mash. If you're using canned pumpkin puree, skip this step and give yourself a high-five for saving time.

3

Mix It Up

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the pumpkin puree and vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and give it a good stir until everything is well combined. Don't be shy, you want a smooth batter!

4

Add Some Crunch

Time to add a little texture to your Pumpkin Bread masterpiece! Stir in those chopped walnuts and give the batter one final mix. Your bread will thank you for the added crunchiness and so will your hungry tummy.

5

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and pour the batter into it. Smooth out the top and pop it in the oven. Now, the waiting game begins. Let it bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Don't worry, your patience will be rewarded!

6

Let it Cool (If You Can)

As tempting as it may be, let your Pumpkin Bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. But let's be honest, who can resist the warm, fragrant aroma of freshly baked bread? If you decide to give in to temptation and have a slice while it's still warm, we won't judge you! In fact, we'll join you.

Slice, Serve, and Enjoy

Once your Pumpkin Bread masterpiece has cooled, it's time to slice, serve, and let the taste of fall dance on your tongue. Spread a little butter on a slice, sip on a warm cup of tea or coffee, and savor each delicious bite. Don't forget to share the love with your loved ones too!
