Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang of 2 inches on two sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, 2¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice, the baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin, granulated sugar, 1⁄2 cup yogurt, the oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and stir well to combine.
