Ingredients

1 3/4 cup All-Purpose flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Sea salt
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Cloves
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ground ginger
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
3/4 cup Packed brown sugar
1 14oz can Pumpkin puree
1/3 cup Avocado oil or vegetable oil
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Juice of an orange
1 tsp Orange zest

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugars until smooth. Now stir in pumpkin, oil, yogurt, orange juice, and orange zest. Pour in the dry ingredients and continue to mix using a rubber spatula. Be sure to scrape along the bottom of the bowl and the sides until no dry pockets remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and transfer to the oven. Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour. At the 45 minute mark, you may want to cover with aluminum foil to prevent browning at the top.
After the bread cools for about 15 minutes, remove from pan. You can begin cutting into the bread 20 minutes after pulling out of the oven, or wait until completely cooled.
