Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, both sugars, and vanilla until smooth.
3. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Slice and serve plain, with butter, or cream cheese.
Notes
Letting the bread rest overnight enhances the spice flavor.
Don’t overmix the batter—stir just until no dry flour remains.
Tent the loaf with foil if the top browns too fast during baking.
