Moist Pumpkin Bread with Vanilla Glaze

To Make the Bread
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray before lining with a piece of parchment paper the same width as the pan with the paper edges left to hang over the sides of the pan.
2
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oil, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until no streaks of flour remain. (A few lumps remaining are okay, do not overmix!)
3
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth into the edges and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting out using the overhanging edges of parchment paper and placing on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before topping with the glaze.
To Make the Glaze
1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar, milk, and butter. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar and vanilla and whisk until incorporated. Pour immediately over the slightly cooled down bread. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Drain Pumpkin Puree Thoroughly 🎃Place canned pumpkin puree in a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture, ensuring a denser, more flavorful bread that won't become gummy.
- Bloom Your Spices in Oil 🌟Whisk your ground spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice) directly into the oil before adding other ingredients to unlock their essential oils and intensify their warm, aromatic flavors.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Are Essential 🌡️Allow eggs, sour cream, and milk to reach room temperature before mixing to create a smooth, emulsified batter that bakes evenly and produces a consistently moist crumb.
- Don't Overmix the Batter ✋Mix dry and wet ingredients until just combined (slight lumps are okay) to avoid overdeveloping gluten, which results in a dense, tough loaf rather than tender and moist pumpkin bread.
- Cool Before Glazing for Perfect Adhesion 🧊Let the pumpkin bread cool completely to room temperature before applying the vanilla glaze so it sets evenly on the surface and creates a beautiful, professional-looking finish without dripping off.
