Equipment

Ingredients  

  • 15 oz pumpkin puree 1 can
  • 1 1/4 cup turbinado sugar or coconut sugar (same amount), or brown sugar (1 cup packed)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 2/3 cup all purpose flour or use whole wheat flour (same measurement in cups)

Instructions

  • Preheatthe oven to 350F , grease and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Addthe turbinado sugar to a food processor and blend it until the granules arefiner (this will help it get absorbed into the bread batter and result in a smoothertexture).
  • Ina large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, eggsand vanilla and whisk until combined.
  • Whiskin the baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice.
  • Whisk in the flour until combined (do not overmix!).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes (see notes)
  • Allow the pumpkin bread to cool for 10 minutes before removing from baking pan and another 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use measuring cups and spoons for wet and dry ingredients for the best results.
  • Do not overmix the batter, or the loaf will be denser.
  • Grease your loaf pan with spray and line it with parchment paper on top! Yes, do both! This will help you unmold the bread without breaking it, as it will still be warm.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean—it’ll take about 60-70 minutes. If using a 9.25x5.25 loaf pan, it takes about 60 minutes. Using a one lb. loaf pan 8.5x4.5 in will take about 70 minutes as it is smaller, and the batter will not spread as much. If using a smaller 1 lb. loaf pan, make sure to add a piece of aluminum foil on top of the bread at the 60-minute mark to prevent overbrowning.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents it from becoming soggy at the bottom.
  • Wait about 30 minutes to cut the bread to let it firm.
