Ingredients

  • ½ cup avocado oil or light/extra light olive oil
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • ¼ cup milk dairy or non
  • 1½ cups flour all-purpose, wheat or gluten-free*
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Mix-Ins & Toppings:

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips nuts, raisins, etc.
  • 1-2 Tbsp coarse sparkling sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 350°F (180°C).
  • Prepare 8.5x4.5” or 9x5” loaf pan. (I prefer to line my loaf pan with parchment & spray with cooking spray.)
  • Beat together oil, sugars, eggs, pumpkin, milk, and vanilla.
  • Separately, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add dry to wet and mix to combine.
  • Add any mix-ins if desired.
  • Pour batter into pan. Sprinkle top with coarse sparkling sugar, if desired.
  • Bake 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean in the middle of the loaf.
  • Cool completely before removing from pan and slicing.

Storage & Freezing:

  • Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To freeze, make sure pumpkin bread loaf or slices are completely cooled. Wrap loaf or slices with plastic wrap or foil, then place into a freezer bag and freeze.
  • When ready to enjoy from frozen, transfer to the fridge to defrost overnight or allow to defrost at room temperature for a few hours. Feel free to reheat in the toaster oven or microwave!

Notes

*Note on Gluten Free Flour:
The best option for this recipe is a 1-to-1 gluten free flour. My personal favorite is Cup 4 Cup’s gluten free multipurpose flour! Also, consider baking your gluten free loaf for an extra minute or a few to ensure that it’s cooked through. (If it’s underdone, it may crumble!)
