Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, grated carrots, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
If using walnuts, fold them gently into the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
