- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin, oil, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Pour batter into two greased 8 ½ x 4 ½ loaf pans. Run a greased knife down the center of the loaves to encourage a crack once bake. Bake in preheated oven until browned around the edges and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pans for 10 minutes.

Notes
- If you let the bread cool too long in the pans, it will become soggy since the pumpkin is very moist.
