Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour (240g)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (150g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (8g)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup water (180g)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60g)
  • 3 tbsp oil or butter (36g)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (5g)
  • 1 tsp maple extract (5g)
  • 2 eggs or flax eggs (or 1/2 cup milk of choice)

Maple Glaze

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (75g)
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice (30g), or more if needed
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (15g)
  • 1/4 tsp maple extract
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional)

Instructions

  • *The maple bread recipe works well with spelt flour, all purpose white flour, or all purpose gluten free flour.
  • 1. Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit (176° Celsius). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan well, or line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • 2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Then whisk in water, maple syrup, melted butter or oil, eggs or milk, vanilla extract, and maple extract until just evenly combined.
  • 3. Smooth into the loaf pan, and bake on the center rack of the oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the maple bread comes out mostly clean.
  • 4. Meanwhile, make the optional maple glaze by whisking all glaze ingredients until thick and smooth. If too thin, slowly add in more powdered sugar. Or if too thick, add more milk.
  • 5. Let the pan cool on a wire rack before popping the loaf out onto a serving plate and frosting with the maple glaze above or any toppings you wish. (You may also frost and slice the recipe directly in the loaf pan.)
  • 6. Once cooled, slice and store leftovers on the counter for one night, in the refrigerator for up to five days, or frozen for up to three months.
