Fudgy Pumpkin Bread with Browned Butter Glaze

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9x5 loaf pans.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin, oil, and applesauce until well combined with an electric mixer.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, ginger, and cloves.

Step 4

Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until combined.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.

Step 6

Pour batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for 50 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.

Step 7

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Step 8

While the bread is cooling, add the butter to a small sauce pan over medium heat and let melt. Once melted, continue cooking, whisking often, until the butter foams. When the butter begins foaming, whisk constantly until the butter turns a deep golden shade. Remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.

Step 9

Drizzle over the bread.
