A moist and tender pumpkin bread flavored with pure maple syrup and warm cinnamon, perfect for cozy fall and winter mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240g) pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted lightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the toasted nuts if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Toast nuts for extra flavor. Let the bread rest overnight wrapped tightly for best flavor and texture. If batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk (dairy or plant-based). Avoid opening the oven door during the first 40 minutes of baking.
