Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie mix

Method
 

For Mini Pumpkin Bread Loaves
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 4–5 mini loaf pans (about 5x3 inches) or line with parchment.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin, oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  4. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in any add-ins you’d like.
  5. Divide batter evenly among pans, filling about ⅔ full.
  6. Bake 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans.
For One Big Loaf
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment.
  2. Prepare the batter as directed above.
  3. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. (Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.)
  4. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
