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.
