Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the eggs, sugars, and pure vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and stir.
    A glass bowl containing cracked eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract sits on a white countertop, viewed from above.
  • Add the pumpkin purée and the oil and stir again.
    A metal whisk mixing orange pumpkin puree with brown liquid ingredients in a clear glass bowl on a white countertop.
  • Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
    A glass bowl containing a mixture of flour and a yellow batter sits on a white surface. A wooden spoon rests inside the bowl, partially submerged in the mixture, suggesting the ingredients are being combined.
  • Mix really well with a spatula, so that there are no pockets of dry flour.
  • Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Spice: If you don't have pumpkin pie spice or don't love all the flavors included in this spice blend, you can use pure ground cinnamon instead.
  • Sweeteners: Coconut sugar adds a mild maple-y flavor and has a lower glycemic index than other sugars, but it can be replaced with white, brown, or maple sugar or any sugar you prefer to use in baking.
  • Oil: Avocado oil can be replaced with a mild-tasting oil, such as olive oil. If you enjoy the flavor of coconut oil, that can be used too.
  • Small bites: Pour the batter into muffin tins or mini loaf pans for smaller, quick-bake versions. You'll need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Add-ins: Fold in chocolate chips, white chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
  • Gluten-free: Try whole wheat flour for a heartier texture or a gluten-free blend to make it allergy-friendly.
