Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree for the best flavor. Don’t overmix your batter to keep the bread tender. Add a pinch of cloves or a spoonful of yogurt for extra flavor and moisture. Customize with dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips.
