Exotic Chai Pumpkin Bread Twist

Exciting Chai Spiced Pumpkin Bread

Today, I’m thrilled to share a recipe that perfectly captures the cozy vibes of fall with a twist of exotic flavors. This Chai Spiced Pumpkin Bread is a delightful combination of warm spices and comforting pumpkin, making it an ideal treat for chilly days or festive gatherings.

Ingredients:

• 200g pumpkin puree
• 250g all-purpose flour
• 150g brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 chai tea bags
• 100g butter, melted
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp cardamom
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• loaf pan
• oven

I start by steeping the chai tea bags in the melted butter to infuse the flavors. In a mixing bowl, I combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and eggs, whisking until smooth. Then, I mix in the chai-infused butter, creating a fragrant and rich base for the bread.

In a separate bowl, I sift together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Slowly incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, I gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and luscious, ready to be poured into a greased loaf pan.

I bake the Chai Spiced Pumpkin Bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The kitchen fills with the warm aromas of cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves as the bread bakes to golden perfection.

Once baked, I let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the flavors to settle and the texture to firm up. For an extra touch of indulgence, I drizzle a simple chai glaze on top, made with powdered sugar and brewed chai tea.

The Chai Spiced Pumpkin Bread weighs approximately 850g after baking, making 8 satisfying servings. Each slice is around 106g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a mixture of sugar and chai spices on top of the loaf before baking for a crunchy and aromatic crust. It adds a delightful contrast to the soft interior and enhances the overall chai experience.

I hope you give this Chai Spiced Pumpkin Bread a try and enjoy the fusion of autumnal flavors with a twist of exotic spices. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite chai blend or adjust the sweetness to suit your taste. Happy baking!
