A delicious brown butter pumpkin bread recipe perfect for fall baking.

  • Total Time: 85 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 can 100% pure pumpkin (15 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons maple extract
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (browned and cooled)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted)
  • Coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10″ x 5″ x 3 ½” loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and combine with the canned pumpkin and extracts.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined. Whisk in the brown butter until fully incorporated. If using, fold in the pecan pieces.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 60-70 minutes. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a 10×5-inch loaf pan, you can make muffins instead. Divide the batter between 24 lined muffin tin wells. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
