Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 9 X 5 bread loaf pan with parchment paper.
Combine 200 g (1 cup) sugar, 100 g (1/2 cup) brown sugar, 100 g (1/2 cup) melted coconut oil, 2 eggs, 125 g (1/2 cup) sourdough discard, and 240 g (1 cup) pumpkin puree in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate large bowl, add 188 g (1 1/2 cups) of flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp baking soda, and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice and blend with a fork or whisk.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 60-70 minutes.
The bread is done when the top of the bread feels firm and springs back when lightly pressed. Another way to check is to insert a cake tester or sharp knife into the center of the loaf and it comes out clean.
Let the bread rest in the loaf pan for 10 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Place leftover homemade sourdough pumpkin bread into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
