Ingredients

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking soda and baking powder, spices and salt. Set aside
Combine the oil, butter and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup.
In a mixing bowl with a fitted paddle attachment, beat the pumpkin, sugar and eggs until combined.
Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the liquid ingredients. Let this process take about 1 to 2 minutes so the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet and slowly fold until the ingredients are blended.
Prepare a 10 x 5 loaf pan by buttering it really well and then adding a strip of parchment paper to the bottom and up the sides for easy removal.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. The bread will be fully risen in the center, like a loaf. Make sure it’s fully cooked and brown on the top otherwise it will fall in the middle once removed from the oven.

Notes

Measure all of the ingredients before. Liquid in one measuring cup, dry in a mixing bowl.
Always use high quality ingredients when baking. Whole, organic eggs, full fat butter, pure vanilla extract. This all makes a difference in the quality of the pumpkin bread.
When adding the oil, butter and vanilla, add it very slowly with the mixer running to incorporate air into the mixture.
Remember that true oven temperature and the material of the loaf pan you’re using will influence the baking time.
If adding in chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in when folding in the dry ingredients.
