Description
A moist, spiced pumpkin bread topped with a rich, buttery maple syrup glaze. The perfect autumn treat for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for glaze)
1 tablespoon melted butter (for glaze)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk. Whisk until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until no dry streaks remain. Do not over-mix.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 7: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and melted butter until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and let set before slicing.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best emulsion. You can substitute the spices for 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice if preferred.
