Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Loaf pan 9x5 inch
  • 1 Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it turns golden brown, then let it cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and browned butter until well combined.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best flavor, use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling. If desired, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for additional texture and taste. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
