📝 Instructions

10 steps

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

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree. Whisk together until well combined.

4. Add the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

6. Gently fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

8. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Slice and serve as a delicious breakfast treat, snack, or dessert!
