Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons chai spice mix (ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, nutmeg)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chai spice mix until evenly combined to ensure the spices distribute well throughout the bread.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the wet ingredients are smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Prepare Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This ensures clean slices and the best texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend if desired, but the texture may vary slightly.
  • Adjust the chai spice mix according to your preference for spiciness.
  • Store the pumpkin bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For extra richness, consider adding a half cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
