In this blog post, we will tell you how you can prepare this lovely dessert at home quickly and easily.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
Great! You have all your ingredients ready now let us proceed.
Step 1: Brown the Butter
First, in a small saucepan over moderate heat, melt the unsalted butter. Watch it closely as the butter will start spluttering and browns in color. When it feels and looks roasted, and has a fragrant peanut-butter like smell, take it off the stove when it is a deep golden brown. The result will be a dark brown rich and nutty flavored brown butter that will transform a normal pumpkin bread into a delicious meal.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
To a big bowl add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves. This means that the two materials should be blended in such a way that the contents of the mixture are evenly spread throughout the container in which it is contained.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the wet mixture. Afterwards remove from the heat, let it cool down for a few minutes before gently folding in the brown butter.
Step 4: But the problem with the dry and wet ingredients is that they should be mixed together.
Gradually add wet mixture into the dry ingredient and stir until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. One thing they should not do is to mix the batter excessively – this results in a dense product. The consistencies should be smooth and slightly thick.
Step 5: Add Pumpkin Puree
Then, gently fold the canned, pumpkin puree into the batter just until it is well mixed. The colour of the batter should be a lovely light shade of orange at this stage.
Step 6: Prepare the Loaf Pan
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. This will also make sure that your pumpkin bread will not stick to the pan as it bakes to done-ness.
Step 7: Bake
Transfere the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly on top with a spatula. Put the pan right into the preheated oven then bake for 50-60 minutes up to a time that a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread will come out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
When your Brown Butter Pumpkin Bread is ready, take it from the oven and cool on a wire rack in the pan for around 15 minutes. After this time, gently take the bread out of the tin and put it on a wire rack to cool for sometime. I find that having bread thickly sliced and warmed is appetising and it’s best to have it with a cup of tea or coffee.
This Brown Butter Pumpkin Bread can be baked for a family gathering or as a yummy snack during a cold October night.
