It’s moist, infused with maple taste, tender, filled with cozy spices and so scrumptious that it’s certain to grow to be a perpetually household favourite. Right here’s what you’ll have to make it:
- Pumpkin Puree: my favourite half about this pumpkin bread is that it makes use of a whole (15 ounce) can of pumpkin puree. Most pumpkin bread recipes name for 1 cup of puree, however with this recipe you don’t have to fret about having leftover pumpkin! Be at liberty to make your personal pumpkin puree utilizing this tutorial too.
- Butter: more often than not I’m utilizing coconut oil in recipes, so I assumed, why not use butter for moisture and texture? Should you use butter, I extremely recommend browning the butter for a toasty, nutty taste that provides wonderful depth to this pumpkin bread. Should you don’t need to use butter, you can even use melted and cooled coconut oil, and even olive oil!
- Pure maple syrup: my favourite pure unrefined sweetener to make use of. Should you don’t really feel like utilizing pure maple syrup, honey will even work effectively.
- Eggs: you’ll want two eggs for fluffy texture within the bread.
- Vanilla: the one and solely vanilla extract.
- Complete wheat pastry flour: that is considered one of my favourite whole grain flours to make use of as a result of it retains baked items mushy as a substitute of dense. Should you don’t have entire wheat pastry flour, you should use white entire wheat flour OR be at liberty to sub 1 cup all objective flour and three/4 cup entire wheat flour.
- Baking soda: to assist the bread rise!
- Pumpkin spices: I favor to make use of my very own mix of pumpkin spices as a substitute of utilizing pumpkin pie spice. This pumpkin bread makes use of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
The addictive maple glaze
Not solely is the maple glaze for the selfmade pumpkin bread straightforward to make, however you’ll end up wanting to place it on absolutely anything and every part. In fact, the glaze is totally non-compulsory however I discover that it provides slightly uniqueness to the bread. All you’ll want is powdered sugar, pure maple syrup and almond milk. Yum.

- Don’t overmix the batter. Should you overmix batter you’ll find yourself with a bread that’s extra dense and gummy as a substitute of fluffy and mushy.

- To retailer: this bread will final for a couple of days on the counter, however after that, I recommend wrapping it up and retaining it within the fridge.
- To freeze: let the pumpkin bread fully cool and wrap it tightly with aluminum foil. Then, place it in a freezer-friendly bag and pop it into the freezer. Bread will maintain within the freezer for as much as 3 months.
Simply take a look at that texture! I can’t cease looking at it. Or frankly baking this bread. I discover that in some way it continues to get higher as the times go on. My advice? High a slice with peanut butter or almond butter and a sprinkle of sea salt for the last word 3pm afternoon snack!
