Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

- In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Avoid overmixing.
- If desired, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.

- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Use room temperature eggs and milk for better texture.’, ‘Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.’, ‘If the bread starts browning too quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil over the top during the last 15 minutes of baking.’, ‘Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.’]
