Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan by lightly spraying with cooking spray and lining with parchment paper.

Step 3

Whisk together the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the pumpkin and oil.

Step 5

Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula. Stop mixing once batter has formed. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle pepitas over the batter.

Step 9

Bake for 55-70 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (start testing at 55 minutes).

Step 11

Let cool in pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. I think it's best served at room temperature.
