Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, water, eggs, and vanilla.
1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup canned pumpkin purée, ½ cup canola oil, ⅓ cup water, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Mix the wet and dry ingredients until combined making sure not to overmix. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, and smooth into an even layer.
Bake for 55-65 minutes. If the bread begins to brown too quickly, make a foil tent to drape over the bread.
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
Serve at room temperature, warm, or cold from the fridge. See post for tips, variations, and storage options.
