Pumpkin Chai Loaf
I’m saying hello to Fall with this (one bowl) Pumpkin Chai Loaf. It’s way better than any coffee shop version! Moist pumpkin chai bread sweetened with maple syrup, topped with sweet chai sugar and served warm. Perfect for all of the autumn weekends ahead, and best enjoyed just out of the oven with a generous smear of butter. So good!
This Pumpkin Loaf is a classic but with a twist delicious thanks to chai-inspired spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. I love that this recipe is a one-bowl wonder and all you need is a wooden spoon, no appliances are necessary! I’ve been loving cardamom lately, I really feel like it’s an underrated spice. Cardamom is a warm and vibrant spice, I feel like it has some citrusy, peppery undertones. I think chai spices really compliment pumpkin. You are going to love this easy, pretty healthy recipe and this loaf it’s so moist, flavourful, and delicious.

How to make Pumpkin Chai Loaf:
I’m obsessed with this loaf and how easy it is to make. One bowl, a spoon, and a few minutes and you’ll have the best pumpkin bread!
In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients, the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, and melted butter. Add your flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Stir to combine.
Line a loaf tin with parchment paper or grease it well with butter. Pour the pumpkin batter into the loaf tin and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together white sugar and more of the chai spices. Sprinkle the loaf really well with the chai sugar blend.
Bake your loaf at 350ºF for 50-60 minutes or until it’s golden bowl and a knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack, wait until it cools a bit before slicing and enjoy a slice of pumpkin chai loaf warm with a generous smear of butter.
