Pumpkin Bread is a quick no-fail bread that has a simple pumpkin flavor. It makes two loaves so you can give one for a gift!

1 cup coconut oil {or canola oil}*

2 cups granulated sugar ((435 grams))

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups solid pack pumpkin

3 cups all-purpose flour ((385 grams) )

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

In a medium-size bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla and pumpkin in a bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Grease and flour two 9x5 loaf pans. Divide the batter between the two pans.
Bake at 325 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, if desired.
