You'll find that this recipe is incredibly simple to make; no mixer required, just a mixing bowl, whisk, and spoon are all you need! (My kind of recipe!)
STEP 1
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Whisk them together until they are fully combined.
STEP 2
Combine both the sugars and melted butter in a separate bowl. Whisk to fully combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
STEP 3
Now whisk in the pumpkin purée until fully combined.
STEP 4
Mix in the flour mixture until it's fully incorporated. Spoon the batter into two prepared loaf pans and bake for 55 minutes. Enjoy!
Mix in toasted and chopped walnuts or pecans.
Top with a streusel topping!
Turn into muffins! Scoop into muffin liners and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one comes out clean.
This bread is incredibly moist, so it is best to store it in the fridge. Once the bread has completely cooled, transfer it to an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator up to 7 days or place in a freezer bag and freeze (whole or sliced).
