A moist, dense pumpkin bread infused with nutty brown butter and a hint of espresso powder to amplify the pumpkin spice flavors. This easy, 5-ingredient style loaf offers a sophisticated taste with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (240g) 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, swirling constantly until it turns amber and smells nutty (5-7 minutes). Pour into a heat-proof bowl and cool for 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
  2. Prep the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the cooled brown butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Whisk in pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder until fully combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Pour dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula just until the flour disappears; do not overmix.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment overhang and place on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure brown butter is cooled to room temperature or slightly warm before mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture. For best results, use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling. The bread tastes better on day two as flavors meld.
