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
- 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.
- 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.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, room-temperature eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not slice the bread until it has cooled completely, preferably for at least 2-3 hours, or even overnight.
