Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups dried cranberries
- 0.25 cups pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and canned pumpkin. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the loaf cools, make the maple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
Once the loaf is completely cooled, drizzle the maple glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
