Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. -
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. -
Combine the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until combined — avoid overmixing. -
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:
In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. -
Assemble the Bread:
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Layer the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar. -
Bake:
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
-
Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
