Step-by-Step Instructions for Moist and Spiced Pumpkin Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and warm spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined, being cautious not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for approximately 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
