Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree Ensure it's halal-compliant.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix!
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling
  1. Let the bread cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Consider using almond flour for a gluten-free option or coconut oil for added flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat at 300°F for about 10-15 minutes.
