Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 1 cup packed brown sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 cup pumpkin puree and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: While the bread cools, whisk 1/3 cup maple syrup with 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Step 7: Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.
