Learn how to make an old fashioned pumpkin loaf with a rich vanilla glaze. Perfect for fall mornings, snacks, or dessert. Easy recipe and one that will remind you of Grandma's kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 15 oz can of pure pumpkin
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsps milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add both of the eggs and beat until smooth.
- Next, add the pumpkin puree and beat until smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, stir flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Slowly incorporate the bowl of dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. The batter will be slightly lumpy but that is normal.
- Pour the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top of the bread starts to brown and slightly crack. An inserted toothpick will come out about 85% clean.
- Cool the pumpkin bread completely in the loaf pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the bread until covered. The wire rack is meant to catch the drips.
- Allow 5-7 minutes for the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
Substitute coconut oil for butter. Or replace 1/2 cup white sugar with brown sugar.
