Pumpkin Butter Bread

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 3x7-inch loaf pan by greasing and dusting it with flour.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and cloves by whisking until evenly blended.

3. 3

   In a separate large bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in half of the pumpkin butter along with the brown sugar, apple juice, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth. Add the flour mixture and stir until no dry streaks remain. Gently fold in the raisins and walnuts. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, spread the reserved pumpkin butter across the surface, then top with the remaining batter.

4. 4

   Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Allow the loaf to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool fully.
