Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking oil. Set aside.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk well.
In another medium bowl, whisk the oil, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk in the pumpkin.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients ((add the add-ons if using) and use a spatula or a wooden spoon to fold the dry ingredients into the wet until everything is well blended.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Leave to cool before slicing through.

Notes

If you use homemade puree, ensure that you drain the excess moisture because it has more moisture that can make your bread soggy than the canned version.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can create tunnels in the bread instead of fine crumbs. Every slice you cut has holes in it.
You don't need a mixer. Mix the batter with your hand, or use the paddle attachment on your mixer. Stop mixing once the flour is fully incorporated with the wet ingredients.
You can double or triple this recipe to make more loaves.
Baking time may vary. The time for baking depends on the type of oven and the kind of pan you use. You may need to shorten or extend the time. Therefore, it is very crucial to check for doneness.
