Ingredients

Pumpkin Bread:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp ground cloves

1 cup pumpkin puree

½ cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

Brown Sugar Pecan Topping:

½ cup pecans, chopped

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tbsp butter, melted

½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this topping over the batter.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
