1-First Step: Preheat and Prepare Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Measure out items like the canned pumpkin puree, butterscotch chips, flour, sugar, eggs, and oil to keep things organized.

2-Second Step: Mix Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk them well to avoid lumps and ensure even baking.

3-Third Step: Whisk Wet Ingredients In another bowl, mix 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until smooth. This step builds the moist base of the bread.

4-Fourth Step: Combine and Fold Gently pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the 1 and 1/2 cups of butterscotch chips to keep the texture light and prevent over-mixing.

5-Fifth Step: Bake the Loaf Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and add a few extra chips on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. The bread should come out clean and golden.

6-Sixth Step: Cool and Serve Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then move it to a wire rack. For the best taste, wait until it’s fully cool before slicing. This simple process, from prep to plate, makes baking enjoyable and stress-free.
