In a large bowl whisk together pumpkin puree and melted butter.

Then, whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar and until combined and there are no lumps.

Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.

Next, stir or whisk in the dry ingredient mixture until batter is smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth out the top.
