Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing.
  4. Step 4: Pour batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Step 5: While bread cools, whisk 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 2 tbsp milk in a small bowl until smooth to create the glaze.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled pumpkin bread before slicing and serving.
