Maple Pumpkin Spice Bread | www.infinebalance.com Recipe

I made Maple Pumpkin Spice Bread this afternoon another recipe from Vegetarian Times magazine (December 2009).  I love spending my Sunday’s in the kitchen. I also made this soup too from this mag. Lovely.

I modified a bit, I just couldn’t bring myself to use a full cup of pure maple syrup in this recipe, so I split it with 50% brown rice syrup. Half a cup of maple syrup is more than enough to give a deep maple flavour. I promise.

Remember this one during pumpkin season. It is so worth it and feels like fall in a warm and cozy bread.

Hot from the oven this disappeared in about 20 minutes. kids loved it.
