Equipment
- 1 bread loaf pan
Ingredients
Gingerbread Loaf
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup molasses
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1½ cup all purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Maple Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan. Add parchment paper for easy removal from the loaf pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the butter, sugar, molasses, eggs, yogurt, and pumpkin puree. Mix until well combined.If you do not have a mixer, you may easily do this by hand with a whisk.
- Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mixer and whisk until fully combined.
- Pour batter into the greased loaf pan.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the loaf is done and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool for 5-10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk your glaze ingredients. You might need to use a hand held electric mixer to get all of the lumps out and make a smooth glaze.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled gingerbread loaf and enjoy!
Notes
Let the loaf cool before icing it so the glaze will harden on top.
