In a medium bowl stir together pumpkin, half-and-half, and brown sugar; set aside. In large bowl stir together the 2 cups flour, the baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in cold butter until pieces are pea-size. Add pumpkin mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until combined. In small bowl combine blueberries and 1 tablespoon flour; toss until berries are coated. Fold berries into flour mixture. Spoon mixture into slow cooker. Pour maple syrup and the 2 tablespoons melted butter over mixture; sprinkle with pecans. Cover and cook on high for 2 - 2-1/2 hours. Turn off cooker. Remove lid so condensation does not drip onto bread. Cover opening of slow cooker completely with paper towels; place lid on top. Cool for 30 to 45 minutes. Serve bread warm from cooker.
