Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree
- ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar (80 g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (105 g)
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (180–190 g)*
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- Optional for topping: Raw green pepitas (pumpkin seeds), coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. Mist a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, avocado oil, and vanilla until well combined.
- Incorporate the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt into the mixture, stirring until all dry ingredients are fully mixed in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle the top with chopped pumpkin seeds.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Then, loosely cover the loaf with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning on top.
- Continue to bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, totaling 55-65 minutes of baking time.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ensure the brown sugar is lightly packed for the best sweetness and moisture.
Using avocado oil yields a light texture and enhances the pumpkin flavor.
Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean.
