Searing the Beef
Replace bourbon with apple cider or black tea for a non alcoholic loaf.
Sprinkle raw sugar or pumpkin seeds on top before baking for a rustic finish.
Store wrapped at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer.
Notes
1
Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter or line two 8 inch loaf pans with parchment.
2
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foamy. Continue cooking until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
3
In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, bourbon, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the browned butter.
4
In another bowl, combine flours, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg.
5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold gently until combined.
6
Divide the batter between the pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
7
Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks. Let cool completely before slicing.
8
Maple Glaze Drizzle: For the glaze, whisk icing sugar, maple syrup, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Drizzle across cooled loaves and let rest for ten minutes before slicing.

Harvest Kitchen Pumpkin Loaf
Anthology of Crumbs
This loaf feels like the centre of autumn itself. Browned butter deepens the pumpkin’s sweetness while a spoonful of maple and cardamom warm each slice. The crumb stays tender and fragrant, the kind of bread that begs to be shared beside a mug of something warm.
