Préparation
 

Preparation

  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, whole milk, cooled brown butter, neutral oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and pumpkin spice.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Glaze
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, and a dash of vanilla extract. Adjust the consistency with milk as needed.
Serving
