Ingredients

  • 1 can of pumpkin puree (15 ounces)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup of melted unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups of low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups of firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups of white whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger
  • ⅔ cup of raisins
  • ⅔ cup of pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon of raw sugar for optional sprinkling on top

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and show some love to three charming 7x3-inch loaf pans by giving them a gentle grease and flour hug.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, dance together pumpkin puree, eggs, velvety butter, tangy buttermilk, and rich brown sugar until they form a harmonious blend. In another smaller bowl, mingle whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, a pinch of salt, and a medley of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Gently introduce this flour concoction into the pumpkin mixture and whisk until just united. Sprinkle in some plump raisins and crunchy pumpkin seeds, gently fold them in. Carefully pour this delightful mixture into your prepared pans or muffin cups, and don't forget to sprinkle the tops with a dusting of raw sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Step 3

Pop your creations into the preheated oven and let them bake until a toothpick, when inserted into the center, comes out clean, which usually takes around 50 minutes. Enjoy the delightful aroma that will fill your kitchen as these loaves or muffins bake to perfection.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your Maine pumpkin bread in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and flavor.
  2. 2. Store slices of pumpkin bread in individual ziplock bags for a quick grab-and-go snack.
