- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
- Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
