Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
If using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Swap whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a softer texture.

Add chocolate chips for a sweeter, dessert-like variation.

Use maple syrup instead of granulated sugar, reducing the milk slightly.

Top with a brown sugar oat crumble for added texture and sweetness.

Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic for longer storage.

Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or use a toaster oven.
