Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, but recommended for extra tenderness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper so that the ends hang over the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, room-temperature eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
  5. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared loaf pan and gently tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any large air bubbles.
  6. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes.
  8. After 15-20 minutes, use the parchment paper sling to gently lift the pumpkin bread out of the pan and place it directly on the wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Do not slice the bread until it has cooled completely, preferably for at least 2-3 hours, or even overnight.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a tender crumb. Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification, and always let the bread cool completely before slicing for the best results.
