4 eggs
1 cups canola oil
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin purée
3 cups white granulated sugar
3½ cups flour
1½ teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons nutmeg
2 tablespoon raw pumpkin seeds, for garnish
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Butter and lightly flour 2 medium loaf pans (8 ½ by 4 ½ by 2 ½ inches).
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine eggs, oil, pumpkin and sugar until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, soda, salt, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg.
With the machine on low speed, add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture in ¼-cup increments.
Scrape down the side of the bowl and mix for another 30 seconds or so, until all ingredients are well-combined.

Divide the mixture equally between the 2 loaf pans.
Sprinkle the top of each loaf with 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds.
Bake 40–45 minutes until a tester inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.

Allow loaves to cool in the pans for 5–10 minutes before unmolding, then allow loaves to cool on a wire rack to room temperature before cutting or wrapping.
