The BEST, incredibly moist Pumpkin Bread with a brown butter maple glaze that will have you swooning with every bite!
Please tell me you’re not sick of awesome pumpkin recipes yet? I really hope not! I have too many amazing pumpkin recipes that I want to share every year and I never seem to get to them all. Some of my absolute favorite pumpkin baked goods that I make regularly include:
You guys, this Pumpkin Bread with Brown Butter Maple Glaze is kind of irresistible. It’s so incredibly moist and infused with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. The bread itself is an awesome recipe from my sweet friend Sally over at Sally’s Baking Addiction.
I left out the chocolate chips from this pumpkin bread recipe and added a simple brown butter maple glaze instead. Some times it’s fun to mix things up, ya know? And literally, I had to stop myself from eating the entire loaf. So YUMMY!

Recipe
Pumpkin Bread with Brown Butter Maple Glaze
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar , packed
- 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup oil (vegetable or canola oil)
- 1/4 cup milk
For the Brown Butter Maple Glaze:
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
- 2 Tablespoons milk (to thin the glaze)
Instructions
- Adjust your oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until well combined.
- Add the pumpkin, oil, and milk and stir to combine. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix together just until combined (do not overmix).
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Check the bread about ¾ of the way through cooking and place a piece of aluminum foil on top if you feel it's getting too brown.
- Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes in the pan and then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Brown Butter Maple Glaze:
- While bread cools, make your glaze. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Continue cooking, watching butter carefully and swirling it in the pan until it sizzles and begins to turn amber in color, about 4-5 minutes. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn!
- Remove butter from heat and pour it into a a mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and maple syrup and beat with electric mixers until smooth.
- Add some milk to thin it, if necessary, or a little extra powdered sugar to thicken it until a soft glaze has formed.
- Spoon the glaze generously over top of the pumpkin loaf and let it set. Cut into slices and serve!

Delicious! Very moist. I cut the 3/4 cup white sugar to 1/2, and it was still very good. I left it plain and topped a slice with peanut butter for breakfast.
My glaze did not mix with the butter and seems broken. Maybe the butter didn’t cook long enough.
To all commenters:
What size can of pumpkin did you use? I was hoping to bake this today but…
Buy a 15 oz. can, you will not use 1-1/2 cups of it.
What size can for pumpkin 14.5, 19, or 28?
14.5 oz. can
How would cooking time change if I used this recipe to make muffins instead?
Cook time will be less, 18-20 minutes.
Random question, how much does it change the cooking time if I add mini chocolate chips?
Cook time would stay the same. Enjoy!
I just made the maple glaze, and it was absolute delish! (I used a box pumpkin bread) My family said it was the best pumpkin bread i have ever made! : )
Absolutely delicious!
This pumpkin bread uses oil instead of butter. What difference , if any, will that make?
I’m sure you could use butter as well.
