Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding them together gently until there are no dry streaks left.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly and leaving room for it to rise.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few crumbs.
  7. Allow the bread to cool for 10–15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
