Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Bread
  • 190 g brown sugar
  • 90 g white sugar
  • 15 oz pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100 ml whole milk
  • 30 ml brown butter plus an additional 25 g for the glaze
  • 80 ml neutral oil (like canola or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 – 1/2 tsp salt
  • 240 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1-2 tsp pumpkin spice
For the Salted Maple Glaze
  • 50 g maple syrup
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • A pinch salt
  • A dash vanilla extract
  • Additional milk (for glaze consistency)

Method
 

Brown the Butter
  1. Start by browning 30 ml of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
Mix Wet Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, white sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, the cooled brown butter, oil, vanilla, and salt until well integrated.
Combine with Dry Ingredients
  1. Sift the flour, baking soda, and pumpkin spice over the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Bake the Bread
  1. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Glaze
  1. While the bread cools for about 15 minutes, whisk together the browned butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, and a dash of vanilla extract. Add a touch of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Glaze the Bread
  1. Drizzle the warm glaze over the slightly cooled bread for a beautiful and tasty finish.
