I possibly store dozens of cans of pumpkin just to make pumpkin bread at any moment. I can have a list full of things I need to do and will get distracted by the urge to have a bite of moist and spicy pumpkin bread.
Browned Butter Pumpkin-Beer Bread
slightly adapted from Slate
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pumpkin purée
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin ale
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan. Brown the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When the butter has browned (about 3 minutes), set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk together the the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
Stir the pumpkin and brown sugar into the cooled brown butter, then stir in the eggs. Finally, stir in the pumpkin ale. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, then transfer the batter to the greased pan.
Bake for 1/2 on hour at 350 then lower the heat to 325 and bake for about another 30-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. It will be hard to wait for the bread to cool before serving to slice.
Happy baking! 🙂

I've got to try this - can't wait! I'm seriously in love with beer bread, and I'm a little bit crazy about baking with pumpkin too. 🙂 I also agree that brown butter is absolutely amazing and just makes everything taste (and sound) better. Thanks for sharing!

Never would have thought of making pumpkin bread like this. Great job, and it's always nice to get compliments on your cooking, it always gives me a boost when I hear someone loves a recipe of mine too.

When I saw the beer inclusion, I was like yes! I love how it gives baked good that yeasty flavor. I don't have as much on hand as you do, but I'm gonna be sure and stock up. That's awesome about being carded. Stay dry over there.

This is such a cute post Lora, I too want to kiss anyone that asks me for ID (though, in all honesty, it happens about once a year. In very, very dim lighting, with a very short-sighted shop assistant.)
We don't get canned pumpkin puree here - OR pumpkin beer. I think I may have to move...

I've made pumpkin bread before but yours looks delicious too. I'll have to give it a try if I can find pumpkin ale.

I've got pumpkin puree in my freezer for my infant son!!! So, this is a perfect way to use up all the leftovers. And did you say browned butter? I'm in nirvana!
Jenny @ BAKE says
I love browned butter! and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to restrain themselves from being overly affectionate with staff who think I'm 18 or under!
Kate@Diethood says

That looks pretty nasty actually, did you bake that all the way? Why does it look so under baked?
