Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk (of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and whisk it together with pumpkin puree and honey (or maple syrup). Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 50-55 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Allow cooling in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
