Pumpkin Chai Bread Recipes

Steps:

• For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with a piece of parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over the edges of the pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, cardamom, ginger, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Whisk together the pumpkin, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until completely incorporated.
• Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it and the cake springs back when gently pressed, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely on a wire rack.
• For the glaze: In the meantime, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, chai tea, cream and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the cooled loaf and let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease and flour pans, or use muffin liners if making muffins.
• Combine the sugar and oil.
• Add the pumpkin and eggs.
• Combine the dry ingredients together.
• Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the chai tea into the pumpkin mixture.
• Pour batter into 2 9x5 loaves, 2 8x8 pans, or muffin tins.
• Bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out clean. About 10 minutes for muffins, 25-30 for an 8x8 pan, or 40-45 for a loaf.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF/177ºC. Generously grease a large loaf pan with butter and dust with flour; set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda, chai masala powder, pumpkin pie spice and baking powder. Whisk to blend the ingredients and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. With the paddle attachment on, process on medium speed until just combined. Add an egg at a time and mix well between each addition.
• Add pumpkin purée and process until well blended. Add the dry ingredients, reduce the speed to low, and mix until just combined, stopping to clean the sides of the bowl.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level it out. Tap the pan to dislodge any trapped air, transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 1:10 hours or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs.
• Remove from the heat and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before unmolding and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile make the icing. In a medium bowl, add cream cheese and half of the icing sugar. Using a spatula, combine the two ingredients together before adding more sugar to it, blend it again with the cheese and then add the remainder of it. Add pure vanilla extract and continue mixing the ingredients until nice and smooth.
• Transfer it to the fridge to firm up while the bread is getting to room temperature.
• Later on, evenly spread on the icing over the loaf and top with pumpkin seeds.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil; remove from heat. Add tea bag; steep, covered, 5-10 minutes according to taste. Discard tea bag. Transfer tea to a blender; add remaining ingredients. Cover and pulse to combine.
