Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as a delicious breakfast treat, snack, or dessert!
