Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, ground ginger, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and both sugars together using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir in pumpkin puree until just combined.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
  9. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure eggs and yogurt are at room temperature to prevent the butter from seizing. Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to avoid a tough texture. Check leavening agents for freshness. Cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
