Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Use a hand or stand mixer to beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Mix until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in 0.5 cups of chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
