Info and tips for maple glazed pumpkin loaf

Here are some tips to make the best pumpkin loaf!

• Use pure pumpkin purée: Make sure to use pumpkin purée rather than pumpkin pie filling, which already contains added sugar and spices.
• Measure the flour properly: Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off to avoid a dense, dry loaf.
• Don’t overmix the batter: Mix until the ingredients are just combined to keep your pumpkin loaf soft and tender.
• Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the centre of the loaf. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Let the loaf cool completely: Allow the pumpkin loaf to cool before adding the maple glaze so it doesn’t melt straight off the top.

I love using my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer for baking recipes! It makes everything so much easier.
