Creating Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger).
3. Combine Sugars: In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Pumpkin: Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Add Extras: If using, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
7. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

These steps will guide you on your journey to creating this mouthwatering gluten-free treat.
