📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

5. If using chopped nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.

6. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice and serve as is, or spread with butter or cream cheese for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
