  3. In a separate bowl, mix canola oil, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, canned pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and lightly score the top with a knife.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Allow the bread to cool for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
