Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
Pour batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes until done.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk (or cream), and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled bread and enjoy!

Notes

For the best texture, stop stirring the batter when you see a few flour streaks. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
