Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Feel free to substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Precise measurement is key to avoid bitterness.
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • 1 te teaspoon Baking Soda Helps the bread stay light and airy.
  • 1/2 cup Oil Canola, sunflower, or vegetable oil are excellent choices.
  • 2 large Eggs Use large eggs for the best texture.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Consider using coconut sugar or any sweetener of your choice as a substitute.

  • 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts Fold in walnuts or pecans.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it generously.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and pumpkin puree until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar until thoroughly incorporated into the wet ingredients.
  4. Layer the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin spice—on top of the wet mixture and gently stir together until just combined.
  5. Fold in optional ingredients like chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Transfer the thick batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 to 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Measure flour and baking powder accurately to avoid a dry loaf. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a light texture. Cool the bread completely before slicing to maintain moisture.
