Ingredients
1 1/2 cups pure pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup brown sugar, packed firmly
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
1/2 cup golden raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease or line a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just moistened.
Gently fold in the golden raisins.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
You can substitute melted coconut oil for canola oil. This bread is freezer-friendly; slice before freezing for easy grab-and-go portions. For the best flavor, use fresh grated nutmeg.
