Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Combine
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using — don’t overmix.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Slice and enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
