Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 cup canned pure pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 3 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp. milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. In a medium bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, vegetable oil and eggs until well combined. Add to the dry ingredients until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. If your loaf seems to be browning too quickly, just tent with foil. Remove from the oven and cool slightly on a wire rack with wax paper underneath the rack before topping with glaze.

Maple Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together glaze ingredients. If mixture appears too thick add another tablespoon of milk. Pour the glaze over the loaf while still warm.

Notes

There is cinnamon in store-bought pumpkin pie spice mix, but I love extra cinnamon flavor, so I added the extra 1 1/2 teaspoons. I didn't think the flavor was overpowering at all.
As mentioned above, a slice is delicious slathered with some butter or as a dessert with some freshly whipped cream or even some cream cheese frosting.
