Yield Two 8-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup bourbon (or use water or apple cider)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée, homemade or canned (1 15-ounce can)
4 eggs
1/2 cup olive or other oil (such as canola)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees and arrange a rack in the center. Grease the insides of two 8-inch loaf pans with butter or line with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the frothy white milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn a fragrant, nutty brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Brown butter can burn quickly, so watch it carefully. (A tip: You will know your brown butter is almost ready when the frantic sound of bubbling begins to die down, so use your ears as well as your eyes and nose.)
In a glass liquid measuring cup, combine bourbon and vanilla. Add water until you reach the 2/3 cup mark. In a large bowl, whisk together bourbon mixture, pumpkin purée, eggs and oil. With a spatula, scrape all the brown butter from the skillet into the pumpkin mixture and stir to combine.
In another large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Divide batter between the two greased loaf pans. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow bread to cool completely before removing from pan.

Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 egg
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup apple juice
¼ cup melted butter
1 ½ cups pumpkin butter, divided
½ cup raisins
½ cup toasted chopped walnuts

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 3x7-inch loaf pan.
Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl; set aside.
Beat the egg in a bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar, apple juice, melted butter, and half of the pumpkin butter until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture until no lumps remain. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread the remaining pumpkin butter over top. Pour in the remaining batter.
Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée will give your bread a more intense pumpkin flavor. You can use canned pumpkin purée, but be sure to drain off any excess liquid before using it.
Brown the butter. Browning the butter adds a nutty, caramel-like flavor to the bread. Be careful not to burn the butter, or it will taste bitter.
Use good-quality bourbon. The bourbon you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the bread. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the bread will make it dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin bread with brown butter and bourbon is a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of pumpkin, butter, and bourbon. It's the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of fall.
