- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan lightly.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, water, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Notes
Use fresh spices and avoid overmixing for a tender crumb. Add nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for texture. For a lighter loaf, swap half the oil with applesauce.
