Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C, line a loaf pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Add pumpkin puree, sour cream, oil, eggs, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
    450 grams pumpkin puree, 120 grams sour cream, 112 grams oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Fold flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula until no dry streaks remain.
    240 grams all purpose flour, 230 grams granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pumpkin bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool completely, slice, and enjoy.

Notes

Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Make sure the only ingredient is pumpkin.
Use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour in grams for the best results. If you don't have a scale, fluff up the flour in the bag before scooping into your measuring cup.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. It'll last a few days longer in the refrigerator but may dry out.
Freezing: Let the pumpkin bread cool completely and wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap. Place wrapped pieces in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
