Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 15 ounce can pure pumpkin
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 0.33 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 0.25 cups chopped pecans optional

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Saucepan
  • whisk
  • toothpick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 325?F degrees (350?F if using a metal loaf pan). Spray loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together brown sugar, canned pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until blended. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check after the first 50 minutes with a toothpick to test for doneness.
Glazing
  1. While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together butter, brown sugar, and milk. Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
  2. When the bread is finished, poke holes in the top using a fork. Place a paper towel underneath the loaf pan to catch any glaze overflow.
  3. Slowly pour the warm glaze over the warm bread, aiming for the holes you poked.
  4. Press chopped pecans (if using) into the top of the bread. Allow to cool before slicing.
