Instructions
Prep
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9”x5”x3” loaf pan and set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- Add the sugar and stir it in.
Combine Dry Into Wet
- To the mixing bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix only until just incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans (or walnuts).
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top using a spatula.
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips, dried cranberries (if using), and nuts over the top.
Bake
- Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
- Brush with Maple Cinnamon Glaze when cooled.
Maple Cinnamon Glaze
- In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, about 25 seconds.
- Add the maple syrup and salt. Stir.
- Gently whisk in the powdered sugar until the glaze is smooth and combined. Drizzle or brush over the cooled Pumpkin Bread.
Notes
Pumpkin Purée: Make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices.
Flour Tip: Lightly spoon flour into the measuring cup and level off with a knife—too much flour can make the bread dense.
Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until the flour disappears. Overmixing leads to tough bread.
