Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl until yellow and fluffy. Add in the sugar and mix until combined.
Add in the oil, pumpkin puree and vanilla. Stir to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt.
Mix the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture one cup at a time, mixing after each addition.
Fold in the chopped pecans, reserving a few to place on the tops of the loaves.
Divide the batter into the two prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour and 5-10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
Notes
-Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or storing. They will slice better if they have cooled. -To store, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. Store up to 3 days at room temperature on the counter.
