A delightful twist on the classic pumpkin bread, this recipe incorporates warm spices and a touch of orange zest for an enhanced flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps and ensure even mixing.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, canned pumpkin, orange juice, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Mixing the wet ingredients thoroughly ensures a uniform batter.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Gently folding prevents the nuts from sinking to the bottom.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Smoothing the top ensures an even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve your spiced pumpkin walnut loaf with your favorite beverage.
Pair with a warm beverage for a cozy treat.
