Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned recommended)
  • ¾ cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend), baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with brown sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and soft.
  5. Add Butterscotch Chips: Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly into the batter to create sweet bursts throughout the bread.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help them combine smoothly and optimize texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until combined to avoid a dense loaf.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
  • Use fresh spices for the best aromatic flavor, especially cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Allow the bread to cool properly before slicing to ensure it firms up and slices nicely.
