How to Make Old Fashioned Pumpkin Nut Loaf Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients (from step 3), mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Sprinkle generously with 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
