Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, and vanilla until combined. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk; mix well.
