Ingredients

  • Dry ingredients:
  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 3/4 tsp salt
  • Wet ingredients:
  • 1 15 oz can 100% pure pumpkin
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins:
  • 1 1/4 cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 cups toasted pecan pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two 9x5x3 loaf pans with baking spray. [i.e Bakers Joy]
  • In a large bowl use a whisk to sift together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together pumpkin, oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix by hand until thoroughly moistened.
  • Add the chocolate chips and pecans until evenly distributed. Divide the mixture evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes. Test the center with a toothpick for doneness before removing to a rack to cool. Look for moist crumbs for the best results.
  • Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a cooling rack.

Notes

To toast the pecan pieces: Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet and roast at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Cool completely before adding to the batter.
