Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
Melt 12 tbsp butter
Prepare baking pans with a spray of non-stick cooking oil
Lightly dust pans with powdered sugar
In a large mixing bowl, or a stand up mixer, mix melted butter, sugar and maple syrup.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk eggs and pumpkin and add to the melted butter mixture
In a separate mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder/soda and spices
Add to the batter and mix. Batter will be thick
Transfer to the prepared baking pan/pans
Bake until done. About an 1 hour if it's one large loaf pan, or 25-minutes if using individual baking mini-loaf pans, or a muffin tin.
Drizzle
Melt 2 tbsp butter with 4 tbsp maple syrup and whisk in enough powdered sugar to make a slightly thick, but pourable glaze to drizzle on the bread.
Assemble
Cool the bread and remove from pans. Drizzle with Maple drizzle and place a maple leaf on top. An optional chocolate drizzle can be added
Notes
If making this recipe into muffins instead of a large loaf pan, the baking time will be reduced to about 25-minutes. An added chocolate drizzle along with the maple drizzle adds for a lovely presentation.
