Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
