Preparation

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined.
Mixing and Baking

  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
