Preheat the oven to 350 and grease an 8 ½ X 4 ½ inch loaf pan. Maybe even make yourself a cup of coffee too.
In a large bowl, add pumpkin puree, vanilla, maple syrup, and eggs. Mix together.
Add in melted butter and mix. Make sure it’s not too hot or it could cook the eggs.
Now, the dry ingredients. Add in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and mix. Next up, the flour. Mix until incorporated, but no more. DO NOT OVERMIX.
Pour batter into loaf pan and place in the oven for 50-60 minutes. Check at 50 minutes to see how things are going. Use a wooden skewer to check for doneness. If you poke the skewer in and it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, you are good. It’s done.
While bread is baking whip up the maple glaze. Pour the icing sugar, maple syrup, melted butter and milk in a bowl and mix until smooth.
Once the bread is done, let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.
Once the bread is cooled, pour on maple glaze.
Slice the loaf, grab that coffee, and enjoy. I am telling you, this is a good recipe!
