Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or cranberries (optional)

Cinnamon sugar (for dusting: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

      Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to over-mix; stir just until the flour is incorporated.

          Add Nuts and Fruits: If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and raisins or cranberries at this stage for added texture and flavor.

            Prepare the Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top for a sweet and crunchy finish.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Cinnamon Pumpkin Snack Loaf warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a spread of butter or cream cheese!
