Holiday Pumpkin Bread with Orange Glaze image

My grandmother and I always make tons of these at Christmas time to give as gifts. It isn't the holidays without this dessert. Not only are they delicious, they're freezer-friendly! I would classify these in the same family as banana bread (sweet loaf) rather than 'bread.'

Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 serving nonstick cooking spray
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
6 teaspoons orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix sugar, pumpkin, oil, and eggs together using an electric mixer in a large bowl until well blended. Mix in flour mixture until well combined. Stir in walnuts and raisins by hand. Divide batter between the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove loaves from the pans and let cool completely, about 15 minutes more.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl. Stir using a spoon to blend well. Spoon glaze over the top of cooled loaves, letting excess run down the sides. Sprinkle with additional 1 tablespoon walnuts before glaze hardens.

This bread is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. I like to slice it and freeze it, then toast it in the toaster oven when I'm ready to eat it.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin bread, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful, I couldn't resist going back for seconds.

This bread is the perfect fall treat. It's warm and comforting, and the orange glaze adds a touch of sweetness.

I can't wait to try this recipe with different flavors of glaze. I think a maple glaze or a chocolate glaze would be delicious.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always have a can or two in my pantry.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.
