Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, toss the raisins and pecans with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread. Set aside. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Beat in the pumpkin puree, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the raisin and pecan mixture. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and spring back lightly when touched. (35 minutes)

07

Step

Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter.
Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor.
Substitute dried cranberries or chopped walnuts for a different flavor profile.
The bread is best enjoyed the next day, as the flavors meld together overnight.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
