Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.75 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1.75 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cup beaten eggs about 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup neutral oil such as canola or vegetable
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips optional, fold in at the end

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, both sugars, beaten eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
  • Add the dry mix to the wet mixture. Gently fold just until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using. Do not overmix.
  • Scrape batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top and tap the pan once to release bubbles.
  • Bake 55–65 minutes, until a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if browning early.
  • Cool 15 minutes in the pan. Lift out and cool completely on a rack before slicing.

Notes

Variation: Stir in orange zest or swap nuts for mini chocolate chips. For a café-style finish, sprinkle coarse sugar on the batter before baking. Storage: Wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices up to 2 months.
