Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and lightly flour a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and ground nutmeg. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Slice the cooled pumpkin and blueberry bread and serve it with a generous spread of maple syrup butter.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; however, if using frozen, do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
- For a smoother consistency, make sure to puree the pumpkin well before mixing it into the batter.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them and turning the batter blue.
- Allow the pumpkin bread to cool completely before spreading the maple syrup butter to prevent it from melting.
Enjoy this scrumptious pumpkin and blueberry bread, sweetened perfectly with maple syrup butter. Each slice captures the cozy essence of pumpkin and the refreshing hint of blueberries, making it a versatile treat suitable for any time of the day.
