Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
15 oz canned pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup dark brown sugar
0.5 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp baking soda
0.75 tsp salt
Instructions
Heat the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat until it foams and turns golden brown.
Remove the pan from heat immediately once brown specks appear and the aroma becomes nutty.
Whisk the browned butter with both sugars in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
Add the pumpkin puree and eggs to the butter mixture, whisking until the batter turns perfectly smooth.
Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice into a separate medium-sized bowl to remove lumps.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350°F for approximately 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Use a light-colored saucepan to keep a close eye on the browning butter color. Ensure the pumpkin puree is plain (not pie filling). Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
