Two bowls
Electric hand mixer
9x5 loaf pan
- 1¾ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 15 ounce can pumpkin purée or fresh
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Maple Glaze:
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar plus more, if needed
- ¼ cup maple syrup plus more, if needed
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Heavy cream or whole milk as needed
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and salt and mix together with a fork.
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Make the Maple Glaze:
Combine all the ingredients except for the cream for the maple glaze and mix with an electric mixer until completely smooth. If the glaze needs thinned out, add a splash or two of heavy cream or whole milk. If you'd like a stiffer glaze, add more confectioners' sugar and mix again until smooth.
Glaze the Loaf:
See note in recipe. If you want a traditional, thick glaze on the loaf, allow the bread to cool completely before glazing. If you want to have the loaf absorb a bit of the glaze, pour it on the loaf after it has cooled mostly but is still a bit warm.
Slice the loaf and serve. Enjoy!
