Ingredients
1 cup 100% pure pumpkin purée
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, sugars, and eggs.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Let the batter rest for 20 minutes to allow the leavening agents to activate.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to prevent the batter from breaking. Do not use pumpkin pie filling; ensure it is 100% pumpkin purée. Resting the batter is the secret to getting a superior loaf rise.
