Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, line it with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, oil, water, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¼ cup light brown sugar, 1 cup canned pumpkin purée, ½ cup canola oil, ⅓ cup water, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Don’t overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries.
1 cup fresh cranberries
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 65–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 slice of bread. Actual calories will vary.
This bread has a lot of moisture and it's important that you properly measure the ingredients or the bread won't bake correctly.
The cranberries add a lot of tartness. You can always use half the amount if desired.
