Ingredients

1 ¾ cup (225 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¼ teaspoon five spice
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar packed
1 ¾ cup (345 g) 100% pumpkin puree
½ cup (100 ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs room temperature
¼ cup (60 ml) milk

Instructions

Prepare the oven and pan. Preheat oven to 325°F, place your oven rack in the center of the oven, and lightly grease your 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Whisk dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and five-spice until combined.
Mix wet ingredients and sugars. In a second large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and oil until combined. Then add the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
Combine. Working in two batches, mix half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined then mix in the rest of the dry ingredients until just combined. The batter should be smooth and thick with a few lumps.
Bake. Pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the pumpkin spice bread cool for 5 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Measure the ingredients with a kitchen scale. Measuring flour can be tricky. To get the most accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale.
Do not over mix. For a light and airy crumb, make sure to not over mix the batter or the spiced pumpkin bread could be tough. Stop mixing when the dry ingredients are just combined. It is okay to have a few lumps.
Use fresh leavening ingredients. Check to see if your baking powder, baking soda and eggs are fresh and within their expiration date. This is crucial for the pumpkin spice bread’s rise and texture.
Do not over bake. Bake until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter. Over baking can yield a dry texture.
Experiment with add-ins! For a personalized experience, why not add chocolate, nuts, or dried fruits for added texture and flavor.
Storage Instructions: This moist pumpkin bread recipe is best served within 24 hours. However, you can store it wrapped in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. You can also keep the bread in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
