Ingredients
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini loaf pan or line with parchment.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
