Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top to create an even surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
