Ingredients

½ Cup Granulated Sugar
½ Cup Brown Sugar Packed
½ Cup Unsalted Butter Melted
2 Eggs
1 15 Ounce Can Pumpkin Puree
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 ¾ Cup All Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
½ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan.
In a large bowl mix melted butter and sugar together until well combined then add in the eggs mixing until fluff and lighter in color. Add the pumpkin and vanilla to the mixture, blending until well combined.
In a medium sized bowl stir the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together.
Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin and blend together scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Using a spatula spread the batter in the pan evenly.
Bake for 60-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let the loaf cool until you can touch it in the pan, then remove the loaf from the pan to finish cooling on a rack.

Notes

Tips for making a great Pumpkin Bread:

Be care not to overmix the batter. This could result in your batter becoming dense. It is already going to be a dense bread, but you do want some air bubbles in there from the baking soda.

Check your bread close to the end. Depending on your oven it may be done sooner than the recommended time. Poke into the center of the bread with a toothpick at around 55 minutes. If/When the toothpick comes out clean, you will know your bread is done.

Serve with butter or cream cheese. Yes, spreading butter on a warm slice of this pumpkin bread is really good. My kids also really enjoy cream cheese on it.
