Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined.
  5. Stir in the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and the cooled browned butter until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice along with the other spices.
  • Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning.
