Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup oil
  • 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree about 1 ¾ cups
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and set the rack in the lower-middle position. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, then line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla, and mix until combined.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, and whisk until the batter is smooth and no dry flour remains.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-75 minutes, making sure to cover it loosely with foil halfway through to ensure the top doesn't get too brown. The bread is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (crumbs are okay, but there should be no wet batter).
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then slide a knife around the edges and invert the bread onto a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool for another 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality pumpkin puree and adjust the baking time depending on your oven's performance.
