Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, and line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.
In a large bowl, beat the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit, fold them in gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use coconut oil instead of butter. If using fresh pumpkin puree, strain it well to remove excess moisture. The flavor intensifies after a day, so consider baking it in advance.
