Delicious Pumpkin Bread with a rich Salted Brown Butter Glaze, perfect for autumn.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for drizzle)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for drizzle)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (for drizzle)
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing and dusting it with flour.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, whisking until well blended.
- In another large bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, canola oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the loaf is baking, prepare the buttery caramel drizzle by melting the butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it bubbles and thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat, stir in the sea salt, and allow it to cool for a few minutes before whisking in enough heavy cream to achieve your desired drizzle consistency.
- Once the pumpkin loaf is baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle the buttery caramel over the top of the cooled loaf for a delightful finish.
Notes
- For an extra crunch, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter before baking.
- You can replace the canola oil with unsweetened applesauce for a healthier twist.
