Most pumpkin bread recipes phone for 1 cup of puree, but with this recipe you do not have to get worried about obtaining leftover pumpkin! Really feel absolutely free to make your personal pumpkin puree working with this tutorial way too.

If you use butter, I highly recommend browning the butter for a toasty, nutty taste that adds wonderful depth to this pumpkin bread. If you do not want to use butter, you can also use melted and cooled coconut oil, or even olive oil!

- Eggs: you are going to need to have two eggs for fluffy texture in the bread.
- Vanilla: the one particular and only vanilla extract.

- Pumpkin spices: I choose to use my very own mix of pumpkin spices as a substitute of employing pumpkin pie spice. This pumpkin bread makes use of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
The addictive maple glaze
Not only is the maple glaze for the home made pumpkin bread effortless to make, but you will discover on your own wanting to put it on just about everything and all the things. Of class, the glaze is entirely optional but I obtain that it provides a minimal uniqueness to the bread. All you will have to have is powdered sugar, pure maple syrup and almond milk. Yum.
