It’s moist, infused with maple taste, tender, full of cozy spices and so scrumptious that it’s sure to turn into a perpetually household favourite. Right here’s what you’ll must make it:

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 happy to make your individual 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? When you use butter, I extremely recommend browning the butter for a toasty, nutty taste that provides superb depth to this pumpkin bread. When 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. When you don’t really feel like utilizing pure maple syrup, honey may 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 one among my favourite entire grain flours to make use of as a result of it retains baked items comfortable as an alternative of dense. When you don’t have entire wheat pastry flour, you should utilize white entire wheat flour OR be happy to sub 1 cup all objective flour and three/4 cup entire wheat flour.

• Pumpkin spices: I choose to make use of my very own mix of pumpkin spices as an alternative 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 do-it-yourself pumpkin bread simple to make, however you’ll end up wanting to place it on absolutely anything and every part.
