Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan lightly or line it with parchment paper.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
