Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with foil and grease.
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, oil, vanilla, and sweetener until bubbles form, 2-3 minutes. If oil hardens, microwave about 10-15 seconds.
Pour in pumpkin and milk and combine gently.
Add baking powder, spices and salt, and mix lightly.
Add in flour, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix or the bread will be tough.
Fold in chopped peanuts, reserving some for topping if desired.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Cool for 15 minutes, then lift out of pan using the lining. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes and cut into slices.
Notes

Grubs by Gabs
.
Grease the foil so the bread just comes off it without any difficulty.
Make sure you use room temperature eggs and milk or the oil will harden when added. If this happens, microwave for about 15 seconds until melted.
Whisk the egg/oil/vanilla for 1-2 minutes so a lot of air gets incorporated. Pumpkin bread is naturally dense.
Use canned pumpkin puree to get the bright orange color. Fresh ones will give a yellow tinge.
Do not over mix the batter or the bread will be tough.
Storage:
Let the bread cool completely before storing so that it remains fresh.
Room temperature: 2-3 days, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or airtight container.
Fridge: 5-7 days in an airtight glass container.
Freezer: 3 months, sliced and wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in freezer bags. Defrost at room temperature or lightly toast.
