Description

Indulge in this decadent and moist loaf that perfectly balances toasted, nutty notes with earthy autumn spices. By using browned butter, this recipe creates a deep, caramelized flavor profile that elevates the simple pumpkin bread into a professional-quality seasonal treat. It features a tender, fluffy crumb that pairs perfectly with coffee or tea, making it the ultimate comfort bake for cool fall days.


Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup Unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
1 cup Pumpkin puree (canned, not pie filling)
1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
2 Large eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp Pumpkin spice blend
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk constantly until it foams, turns amber, and releases a nutty aroma.
Immediately remove the browned butter from the heat and transfer it to a bowl to cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the cooled browned butter with the brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined to ensure a tender crumb.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure the brown butter is cooled slightly before adding eggs to prevent scrambling. Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
