Our Maple-Vanilla Pumpkin Loaf is an orange-hued beauty that is satisfyingly rich, filled with earthy sweetness, and couldn’t be simpler to make. Not only does the pumpkin in this loaf pack a powerful punch of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but it also gets a naturally sweet hint of caramel flavor from maple syrup and notes of nuttiness from the whole wheat flour in the batter. Yet, what really elevates the flavors of this loaf is the addition of Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract and select spices from Simply Organic. The combination of sweet autumn spices and fragrant vanilla makes this loaf a new fall favorite, whether toasted and served for breakfast or drizzled with a little extra maple syrup for dessert.
For a classic fall loaf like this, Simply Organic is the natural choice. The vanilla extract that scents and flavors this loaf is made with only authentic, high-quality, and organically grown vanilla beans handpicked by farmer co-ops in Madagascar. Real vanilla contains more than 250 flavor and aroma compounds, while imitation vanilla flavoring only contains one. When you bake with Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract, you’re baking with a vanilla unmatched in depth and flavor. Also, you won’t want to miss the Simply Organic Ground Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, and Nutmeg that add an alluring and aromatic warmth to this loaf. Each spice is certified organic, thoughtfully sourced, and minimally processed, making Simply Organic spices the highest-quality spices you’ll find on the market.
