Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Can substitute half with applesauce for a lighter version.
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, filling it about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best results, do not overmix the batter, watch the bread closely during the last few minutes of baking, and store properly to maintain moisture.
