🥘Ingredients

For the Bread

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin butter
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray and set it aside.
3In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
4Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
5In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
6Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
7Mix in the pumpkin butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
8The mixture will be thick and creamy.
9Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula until just combined.
10Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
11Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
12Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
13Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
14The bread will be golden brown and fragrant.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pumpkin Butter Bread

1. Can I use homemade pumpkin butter instead of store bought?

Yes, you can use homemade pumpkin butter. Just make sure it is thick and not too runny. If it is too thin, the bread may be too moist and not bake properly. Homemade pumpkin butter often has less sugar, so you may need to add a little more sugar to the recipe.

2. How do I store pumpkin butter bread?

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. For longer storage, freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Thaw it at room temperature before serving.

3. Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to this recipe?

Yes, you can add chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips. Fold in about 1/2 cup of your choice into the batter before baking. Nuts add a nice crunch and chocolate chips make it more like a dessert. Just be careful not to overmix the batter.

4. Why did my pumpkin butter bread turn out too dense?

If your bread is too dense, you may have overmixed the batter. Mix just until the dry ingredients are combined. Also, check that your baking soda and baking powder are fresh. Old leavening agents can cause the bread to not rise properly. Another reason could be that you used too much pumpkin butter.

5. Can I make this bread gluten free?

Yes, you can substitute the all purpose flour with a gluten free flour blend that includes xanthan gum. The texture may be slightly different but it will still taste good. You might need to add an extra egg or a little more liquid to get the right consistency. Test the bread with a toothpick to check for doneness.
