Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, sugars, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool loaf for 15 minutes before removing from pan. Let cool completely before glazing.

Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over cooled bread. Allow to set before slicing.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for extra crunch.

For a stronger maple flavor, add 1/2 tsp maple extract to the glaze.
