Pumpkin Bread w/Salted Maple Butter
This pumpkin bread is truly the most delicious bread and it couldn't be easier. Super moist with autumnal spices and a nice spread of the salted maple butter elevates this classic!
Ingredients
For the bread:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 2 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Salted Maple Butter:
- 6 tbsp good quality salted butter at room temp I like Presidente or Kerrygold. Make sure it's salted
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- tiny pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
Bread:
- Preheat oven to 350° degrees and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Spray the inside with nonstick spray and line the outside of the pan with a piece of tin foil (shiny side in) to prevent over browning.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk well. Then mix in the pumpkin puree. Next, add in the oil, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Sprinkle in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir until just combined and you don't see clumps of flour. Pour into loaf pan, put in oven and set timer for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, place a piece of foil over the top to prevent too much browning and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Until a toothpick comes out with just some crumbs.
Salted Maple Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the butter, maple syrup and tiny pinch of cinnamon together until combined.
