Cozy Fall Recipe: Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Bread

Today’s Unique Creation: Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Bread

As the autumn chill sets in, I find myself craving warm, comforting treats. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Bread that embodies the cozy flavors of the season. This delightful loaf is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, and the combination of pumpkin and pecans is truly a winning pair.

Ingredients:

• 300g all-purpose flour
• 250g pumpkin puree
• 100g chopped pecans
• 200g brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 150g melted butter
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• loaf pan
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and melted butter until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice the Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Bread and serve. This bread is best enjoyed slightly warm with a smear of butter or a dollop of whipped cream.

This recipe makes one loaf of Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Bread, weighing approximately 800g. It serves 8, with each serving weighing around 100g. Each serving is estimated to be around 300 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on top of the bread before baking for an extra touch of sweetness and spice.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Bread as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with different nuts or spices to make it your own!
