Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (190g) whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 0.5 tsp (3g) baking powder
- 1 tbsp (6g) ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp (2g) ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp (1g) ground cloves
- 0.5 tsp (3g) sea salt
- 0.5 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup (100g) coconut sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15g) melted unsalted butter
- 1 pinch (0.5g) sea salt
- 2 tsp (10ml) milk
Instructions:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until it foams and develops small brown specks and a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the browned butter with maple syrup and coconut sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain, avoiding overmixing.
- Pour batter into a parchment-lined 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake at the specified temperature for 55 minutes.
- Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, salt, and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled loaf.
