Pumpkin Gingerbread smells heavenly and taste even better! If you love pumpkin bread then you will fall in love with this Pumpkin Gingerbread.
When making this bread I used McCormick for all my spices and pure vanilla extract to bring out all the flavors. This recipe makes 2 loaves and that was not nearly enough for pumpkin loving family. Next time I will double the recipe and add some mini chocolate chips to some of the loaves for extra sweetness for my boys.
To prepare, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a large mixing, combine sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs; beat until smooth. Add water and beat until well blended. Stir in pumpkin, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, and clove. In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, salt, and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture and blend just until all ingredients are mixed. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven until toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. I like to use my own Homemade Pumpkin Puree in this recipe.
We hope you enjoy this delicious Pumpkin Gingerbread Recipe. It is perfect for fall. Trust us you will love it! We like to make this for Thanksgiving morning too!

Call me crazy, but you mention in your 'intro' that you use pure vanilla extract, but I'm not seeing it in the ingredients, nor in the instructions. Is it in there? If so, how much do you use?
Stephanie@StockpilingMoms
I am so sorry that I left it out! I have now added it to the recipe 🙂 Thanks for letting me know!

The vanilla extract is still not included in the recipe. I made the bread already and then noticed you mentioned using it in the blog post, but that it was not a listed ingredient. How much did you use?
