  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Can substitute with a lower sodium alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Fresh cinnamon yields the best aroma
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Swap for fresh nutmeg if available
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves Use sparingly for milder spice flavor

  • 2 Large Eggs For vegan versions, use flax eggs

Method
 

Making the Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl: pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry mixtures. Stir just until blended.
  5. Transfer the batter into the greased pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  7. Cool the bread in the pan for about 15-20 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Glaze
  1. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until you achieve your desired glaze consistency.
  2. Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled pumpkin bread.
