Number Of Ingredients 16

4 eggs
1 can(s) pure canned pumpkin
1 c vegetable oil
3 c sugar
3 c flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp ground cloves
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c pumpkin seeds (shelled)
1 c craisins
1/2 c powdered sugar
1-2 tsp milk
1 envelope of instant hot spiced apple cider drink mix

Steps:

  • 1. Cream the wet ingredients all together
  • 2. Sift the dry ingredients together including the Instant Hot Apple Cider Drink Mix
  • 3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin seeds and craisins.
  • 4. Pour batter into 9 greased mini loaf pans or two 9X5 loaf pans. (I spray some Pam in each pan but you can use whatever you like to grease them) Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes for the mini pans and 1 hour for the larger loaf pans. Use a cake tester or toothpick to test for doneness.
  • 5. Mix the powdered sugar and milk into a thick consistancy and drizzle over the loaves and top with a few pumpkin seeds and craisins. Omit this step if your plan on freezing for future use and add it later when you are ready to serve. This recipe freezes well and I usually double wrap each loaf.
  • 6. NOTE: you can add any kind of nuts or dried fruits in lieu of the pumpkin seeds and craisins. I have used chopped pecans and dates, walnuts and raisins, chopped dried mango and pineapple with pecans etc. Use your imagination and have fun!

PUMPKIN BREAD WITH BROWN BUTTER AND BOURBON



Pumpkin Bread With Brown Butter and Bourbon image

This hearty pumpkin bread is a sophisticated twist on the traditional version with the addition of bourbon (teetotalers can substitute apple cider), browned butter and cardamom.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     breads, quick breads, dessert, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield Two 8-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup bourbon (or use water or apple cider)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée, homemade or canned (1 15-ounce can)
4 eggs
1/2 cup olive or other oil (such as canola)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and arrange a rack in the center. Grease the insides of two 8-inch loaf pans with butter or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the frothy white milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn a fragrant, nutty brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Brown butter can burn quickly, so watch it carefully. (A tip: You will know your brown butter is almost ready when the frantic sound of bubbling begins to die down, so use your ears as well as your eyes and nose.)
  • In a glass liquid measuring cup, combine bourbon and vanilla. Add water until you reach the 2/3 cup mark. In a large bowl, whisk together bourbon mixture, pumpkin purée, eggs and oil. With a spatula, scrape all the brown butter from the skillet into the pumpkin mixture and stir to combine.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Divide batter between the two greased loaf pans. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow bread to cool completely before removing from pan.

Apple cider pumpkin bread recipes are a delicious and popular fall recipe that combines two classic autumn flavors: apple cider and pumpkin. This bread is warm, moist, and packed with flavor, making it the perfect treat for chilly fall days.

The Ingredients

The ingredients for apple cider pumpkin bread recipes vary depending on the recipe. However, the main ingredients are pumpkin puree, apple cider, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, eggs, and unsalted butter.
Pumpkin puree
Pumpkin puree is the foundation of this recipe. It provides the signature flavor and moistness that makes pumpkin bread so delicious.
Apple cider
Apple cider is a fall staple and an essential ingredient in apple cider pumpkin bread. It adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the bread, while also making it moist and tender.
Flour
Flour is used to give the bread structure and to help it rise. All-purpose flour is typically used in this recipe.
Sugar
Sugar is used to sweeten the bread and to help it brown. Brown sugar is sometimes used in apple cider pumpkin bread recipes for a richer flavor.
Baking Powder and Baking Soda
Baking powder and baking soda are leavening agents that help the bread rise and become light and airy.
Cinnamon and Nutmeg
Cinnamon and nutmeg are warm and fragrant spices that give the bread a cozy, fall flavor.
Salt
Salt is used to enhance the flavor of the bread, as well as to balance the sweetness of the sugar.
Eggs and Butter
Eggs and butter are used to bind the ingredients together and to add richness to the bread.

The Process

Making apple cider pumpkin bread is a straightforward process that requires a few basic kitchen tools and techniques.
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
The first step in making apple cider pumpkin bread is to mix together the dry ingredients. This usually includes flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This mixture is then set aside while the wet ingredients are prepared.
Mixing the Wet Ingredients
The wet ingredients for apple cider pumpkin bread typically include pumpkin puree, apple cider, eggs, and melted butter. These ingredients are mixed together until they are smooth and evenly combined.
Combining the Dry and Wet Ingredients
Once the wet ingredients are mixed together, they are added to the dry ingredients and stirred until a smooth batter is formed.
Baking the Bread
The batter is poured into a greased loaf pan and baked in a preheated oven for about an hour. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Variations

Apple cider pumpkin bread recipes are highly customizable, and there are many variations to choose from.
Add-ins
Some recipes call for add-ins, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries. These ingredients can be stirred into the batter before baking to add extra flavor and texture.
Glazes
Many apple cider pumpkin bread recipes are topped with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. This glaze adds a sweet finish to the bread and can be flavored with vanilla extract or cinnamon.
Spices
The spices used in apple cider pumpkin bread can be adjusted to taste. Some bakers prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, while others prefer more nutmeg.
Flour Substitutes
Some apple cider pumpkin bread recipes call for alternative flours, such as almond flour or coconut flour. These flours can add extra texture and flavor to the bread.

Conclusion

Apple cider pumpkin bread recipes are a delicious and easy fall recipe that combines the flavors of apple cider and pumpkin. These breads are perfect for chilly fall mornings or as a tasty afternoon snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, anyone can make this delicious bread at home.
Nothing says fall like the flavors of apple, pumpkin, and warming spices. Combining them into an apple cider pumpkin bread recipe is sure to satisfy your craving for autumn delights. But, baking with pumpkin can be tricky, and making it with apple cider can make it even more complicated. Don’t worry, though, with these valuable tips, you can make a perfect and delicious apple cider pumpkin bread every time.

Tip 1: Use the Right Flour

To achieve the perfect texture for your apple cider pumpkin bread, use a quality flour that’s appropriate for baking bread. All-purpose flour is usually sufficient, but you can use bread flour or cake flour as well. Bread flour has more protein than all-purpose flour, giving it more gluten strength to make bread rise better. Cake flour, on the other hand, has less gluten, making it lighter and fluffier. It's best to choose a flour with a protein content of about 9-11%.
Tip 1.1: Reduce Protein Content of your Flour if Needed
If you want a lighter, fluffier loaf, you can reduce the protein content of your flour by adding cornstarch. For every cup of flour, remove two tablespoons of flour and replace them with two tablespoons of cornstarch. This will reduce the protein content by 2% and create a lighter texture for your bread.

Tip 2: Pump Up the Pumpkin Flavor

To make sure your apple cider pumpkin bread is bursting with pumpkin flavor, use pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie mix. Pumpkin pie mix has spices and sweeteners already added, and it may not have real pumpkin as its first ingredient. Choose canned pumpkin puree that has 100% pumpkin and zero added ingredients.
Tip 2.1: Cook Your Own Pumpkin Puree
If you prefer to use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree, you can make your own pumpkin puree. To do this, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut your pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and membrane. Place the pumpkin halves face down on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the flesh is tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool before scooping out the flesh and pureeing it until smooth.

Tip 3: Spice It Up

Pumpkin pie spice is a common ingredient in pumpkin bread, but you can also use individual spices to create your preferred flavor combination. For instance, if you love cinnamon, use a little extra cinnamon or add nutmeg, ginger, and allspice for a more complex flavor profile. The key is to use high-quality spices to achieve the best results.
Tip 3.1: Experiment with Different Spice Combinations
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different spices to find the flavor that you love. You may want to try cardamom or cloves, or a combination of your favorite spices to create your signature pumpkin bread flavor. Start with small amounts and adjust to your preference.

Tip 4: Add Extra Moisture

Adding apple cider to pumpkin bread can add extra moisture and flavor, but you need to adjust the recipe accordingly. You may need to add more flour, reduce the amount of liquid used or adjust the baking time. Adding sour cream or plain yogurt can also help to create a moist and tender crumb.
Tip 4.1: Use a Kitchen Scale to Measure Ingredients
Using a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients accurately will ensure you get the right texture and consistency. Cups can vary in size, and a slight difference in the amount of flour or liquid used can result in a completely different outcome. Weighing your ingredients is crucial to consistency.

Tip 5: Use the Right Pan

The pan you choose to bake your pumpkin bread can affect its texture and moistness. Glass, aluminum, or non-stick metal pans are best for baking bread because they distribute heat evenly. You can use a loaf pan, 9x5-inch, or individual mini loaf pans depending on your preference.
Tip 5.1: Grease and Flour the Pan
To prevent the bread from sticking to the pan, make sure to grease it well with cooking spray or butter and flour it. This will create a non-stick barrier between the bread and the pan and ensure an easy release once it’s done baking.

Conclusion:

Making apple cider pumpkin bread can be a challenging but rewarding experience. By following these valuable tips, you can create an incredibly moist, flavorful, and delicious loaf of bread every time. Remember to use high-quality ingredients and adjust the recipe accordingly to create the perfect texture and flavor. With practice, you’ll become a pumpkin-bread expert in no time.
