Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Let the bread cool fully before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
You can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra richness.
