Ingredients
15 oz pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp nutmeg
0.5 cup vegetable oil
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp water or milk for glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, and spices together in a large mixing bowl.
Combine the pumpkin puree, oil, and eggs in a separate bowl until completely smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined without overmixing the batter.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the loaf for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center emerges clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
Whisk the powdered sugar with the liquid until smooth and drizzle over the cooled bread.
Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for the best emulsification.
Use canned pumpkin puree, not pre-spiced pumpkin pie filling.
Measure flour by spooning into the cup rather than scooping directly to avoid a dense loaf.
The glaze sets best on fully cooled bread.
