Gigi’s Blue Ribbon Pumpkin Bread – Garden & Gun

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two standard bread loaf pans. Whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add the pumpkin, eggs, canola oil, and water. Fold in the pecans, vanilla, and raisins (if desired). Pour the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for one hour. When a toothpick comes out clean, it’s done.
