A tender, fragrant loaf blending earthy pumpkin, sweet maple syrup, and warming chai spices. This bread tastes like a crisp fall morning in every bite—wonderful with tea, coffee, or just a little butter.
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chai spice blend (see note)
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
½ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and chai spice.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just blended—do not overmix.
Bake: Pour batter into loaf pan and bake 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool: Let bread cool 10 minutes in pan before transferring to a wire rack.
