Ingredients

Scale

1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and vegetable oil to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula without overmixing.
If desired, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 55–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before slicing.
