Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, water, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
5. Pour and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.
