Pumpkin bread

Preheat the oven to 350.

Spray a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and about a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice; set aside.

Combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil and sugar; crack the eggs into a separate bowl first to catch any shell, then add them with a drop of vanilla and whisk together.

Add all the dry ingredients and mix until smooth with no lumps.

Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated 350 oven, testing with a toothpick in the middle; done when it comes out clean, otherwise check every five minutes. Bake time as transcribed: 'about 15 minutes to an hour', then 'baked for exactly 16 minutes'.

Loosen the sides with a knife, turn out onto a plate and peel off the parchment.
