Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
In a large bowl, whisk oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use homemade pumpkin puree for a richer flavor if desired.
Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
Bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
