Ingredients
15 oz canned pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups granulated sugar
0.5 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard 9×5 loaf pan thoroughly with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, and baking soda until fully combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, and eggs until the batter reaches a smooth consistency.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the last streaks of flour disappear.
Pour the prepared batter evenly into your greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie mix to achieve the correct flavor profile. If using coconut oil, ensure it is melted and not piping hot. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or wrap tightly to freeze for longer storage.
