Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set this dry ingredient mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition until smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, followed by the milk. Mix until the wet ingredients are fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix — fold just until no streaks of flour remain.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve slices plain, slathered with butter, or topped with cream cheese for an extra indulgent treat!
