Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Topping
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or a little vegetable oil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix well until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and cream of tartar.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with the remaining batter and finish with another sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar.
Baking
  1. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve.

Notes

For health-conscious options, consider substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or using apple sauce instead of oil. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
