Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree Can substitute with homemade pumpkin puree.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Can be replaced with unsweetened applesauce for a healthier option.
  • 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice Essential for the warm autumn flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.
  2. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  3. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
