Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips
  • For Maple Drizzle: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • For Maple Drizzle: 2 tablespoons milk
  • For Maple Drizzle: 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the bread cools, prepare the drizzle: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  10. Once the bread is cool, drizzle the maple glaze over the top. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute the oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap the cooled, unglazed loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to three months.
  • For a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons cold butter until crumbly, then sprinkle over the batter before baking.
