Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prep the pan and oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later. Set aside.
  2. Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, light brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, allspice, and cloves. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix to ensure a tender bread.
  3. Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
  4. Make the maple glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and just enough milk (1-2 teaspoons) to achieve a drizzle-able consistency. Adjust the milk quantity as needed to get the right thickness.
  5. Glaze and serve: Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled pumpkin bread. Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy this deliciously moist and spiced maple pumpkin bread!

Notes

  • You can substitute the light brown sugar with coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor and a healthier alternative.
  • Ensure the bread is completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.
  • Use parchment paper to easily lift the bread out of the pan without breaking it.
  • For an extra touch, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to a week.
