Molly: "So I've removed the ground ginger from the mixture because im just not a fan." Me: *about to throw my computer across the room* Molly: "And I'm substituting that with fresh ginger" Me: *sets computer back down*
I just made this (just a vegan version: swapped the eggs for aquafaba and the butter for earth balance), and it was perhaps one of the greatest baked goods I've even eaten. It's both sweet and savory, perfectly spiced, and the salted maple butter adds the perfect amount of salty and sweet goodness on top!
I had to Google the ingredients you mentioned. Not a vegan, although I prefer cooking with mushrooms or soy-based products. And carrots! 🥕 I can't tell you how many times I forgot to plan ahead and carrots come to save the dish! Gonna try out Molly's recipe since I LOVE pumpkin seeds, but I will use rapeseed oil instead and salt flakes on top.
You also don't butter the whole bread when it cools down. With frosting you frost the whole cake. Plus the texture of maple butter is most likely different from frosting You're gonna have to bake to really find out lol. Also send some of the cake my way
Alex just haunts the test kitchen tasting stuff. When they get tired of him they perform an exorcism and banish him to a random city so he can start nicknaming the token dishes of said city.
I just made this recipe a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing! Disclaimer: I did not make the maple butter, although I intended to. Not sure if I liked the pumpkin seeds on the top, though, but everyone else loved them. They look pretty, but the texture is a bit jarring for me. The fresh ginger make this. It will be my go-to recipe for pumpkin bread.
I finally made this and can confirm it's delicious. The fresh ginger and olive oil are game changers! Instead of pumpkin seeds, I topped off with walnuts and a sprinkle of sugar. :)
You are not that different tho. I too chose to never order from Starbucks. Well, i tried once but they asked me to leave saying they don't serve non hipsters.
Timothy Espinosa coming from a store manager at Starbucks, I fully agree w her hahaha. Our pumpkin loaf (and like all our food) is NASTY. Artificial and cheap af! It sucks lol will never get why people pay so much for it
I made this three times this holiday season and everyone loved it. I especially like it's Pumpkin seed and sugary crust and so did everyone else that tried it. The flakey sea salt maple butter is amazing and the pumpkin bread is all gone now, but we are still slathering that butter on everything, LOL. Thanks Molly for a wonderful recipe!
Chongo Power how dare you suggest something so vulgar. You should be ashamed of your simple-minded masogeny, yada yada yada all the SJW stuff and yeah, have a good day.
I love that we're acknowledging that quick bread loafs are in a murky space where they're not quite cakes, but also not really breads. Anyone want to talk about how muffins are essentially cupcakes without frosting?
I know, but the first time I made muffins from scratch and saw how much sugar you put in I genuinely wondered what made them not cupcakes. Ah the misconceptions of youth and thinking if it had fruit or vegetables in it it was healthy... And I'll be honest, I don't put butter on my muffins, or things like zucchini bread or pumpkin bread. Just not a big fan of butter as a topping. I make an exception for hot toast.
I've made this a few times this season (I think I used 1 cup instead of 1.5 of sugar) and it was AMAZING every time. You're a genius molly. Keep it up :)
Has no one heard her mention her husband in almost every BA video she's starred in? She has "Cea Sal" custom shoes that her husband had made for her for a birthday (I think), because she loves Caesar Salad (husband or embroidery worker made spelling error).
Honestly? The real tea? This is one of my favorite channels. I have never once been let down by any of bon appetit's videos. Every one of them is either entertaining or informative or a fantastic combination of both!
I just made this. It's so good! No need for the butter, it's great without it! It's like a giant muffin! I couldn't wait so I ate it warm, I love it! I will make it again for Christmas
I just made this for the third or fourth time but this time I baked it in a 9x9 pan and topped it with some leftover goat cheese French buttercream, and it is fantastic! Love this recipe!
This recipe is amazing! Perfectly moist and just the right amount of spice. I love the fresh ginger, it adds a wonderful brightness. Since I'm so extra, I ground my own cinnamon sticks and whole cloves instead of using pre-ground. So glad I did! It made it even better, if that was possible. I think this is a perfect recipe.
molly is adorable and sassy. just wanted to throw that in there because my comment is really about how brad always has a crowd around him in other peoples' videos. I suspect that he is one of those rare creatures who is legitimately that entertaining 24/7 on camera or off
Made this twice already from the BA instagram recommend, it's AMAZING! Also, if you're feeling fancy, drizzle some pumkin seed oil into the butter, so good!! And makes it green, such a great contrast to the orange :)
This was really, really good. I actually want to make it into a cake next time with some maple buttercream frosting. The fresh ginger was one of the keys - great flavor. However I was skeptical about using so much oil and when I added the olive oil it had a very strong olive oil smell (obviously) and not a nice pumpkin smell so I added a little shake of allspice (one of my favorite spices to use for pumpkin recipes). And yes, it did "rise significantly"! I like it when I do a recipe that turns out exactly like it looks in the video. Thank you Mollie!
You said that it's not cake because it's served with butter. But what is the difference between butter and frosting if you're going to put maple syrup in the butter? Isn't frosting basically just sugar and butter? Which is the same thing as syrup and butter? The people demand answers.
Don't know if this is of interest but there was an actual legal battle in the UK about whether a jaffa cake (a small, chocolate covered... thing. I'll remain neutral) was a cake or a biscuit. The categories of baked goods are serious business :P
Depends on the frosting, but usually a frosting is majority sugar, especially a butter cream frosting. Typically it's 3oz confectioners sugar to 1oz butter. What Molly made should be considered a whipped butter instead of a frosting because hers was 3oz butter to 1oz sugar.
Dontcha just hate it when folks start listing their revisions to a recipe posted by a respected chef? However, with apologies to Ms. Molly here goes: Only one cup of oil and I used canola, especially after reading all the comments about the olive oil. One cup of granulated sugar + 1/2 cup of brown packed; used fresh grated ginger because I had just bought some; metal loaf pan about 1 hr +15 min, oh topped w chopped walnuts & some sugar. Moist, fragrant, the fresh ginger adds great bite. Thanks Molly!!
Something about Molly make me wanna be her friend... She's such a great cook & down right ill. Her & Brad are distilled entertainment for me. Keep'em comin
I honestly add half the suggested salt for all these dishes. Made the cornbread and it was great, just super salty. I’m not risking it with this one! Using 50% off suggested salt
molly!!!!!! i watched all your videos within couple of days and since then ive been waiting for a new content with you!!!!! you have an angelic face and i love how you demonstrate what you cook
I just made this recipe minus the sugar, and replaced the flour with homemade oat, linseed, pearl barley, and coconut flour that I whizzed up in the blender... it's in the oven right now fingers crossed it works out! Edit; wow very salty but to balance it out I microwaved some dates with a bit of water, mushed it into a paste and spread it on... you could also use this 'date paste' to sweeten the mix before you cook it
When I found Molly's video in 2018, it was so dang good, we overdosed on it to the point we couldn't bear anymore pumpkin loaf, it's 10/2022 and we want pumpkin loaf. I can never eat another recipe after having this, so moist, spicy and just downright delicious! I didn't make the salted maple butter.
I very much agree with Molly about the ginger. I do wonder about her 100% pumpkin assertion. And I get that this type of loaf is not really a 'bread'. But the big problem I have with this vid is that she allowed to loaf to totally cool, and spread cold butter on it. Molly! Serve it warm, and let the butter melt into it. Holy frickin jesus!
@@ProfessorJones7 No because butter becomes solid when it cools, oil doesn't. Besides, the olive oil does give flavour! I used a lot less sugar in the recipe and its sweetness in the end reminded me a lot if maple in that it has savoury undertones if you know what I mean. Another difference lies in the technique. In a butter cake, you first cream together butter, sugar, and flavour, then add eggs, then dry stuff. Since the signature ingredient here is pumpkin puree which doesn't fall into any of these categories, cakes like this (also carrot cake, banana cake, joghurt or ricotta cake, tahini cake (another BA fave of mine, check their website)), these tend to be made with "liquid oil". That way, the ingredients mix way better than when trying to incorporate the flavour ingredient into the butter-sugar-egg part. 😊 (ps: no science, no degree, just my personal trial and error. Also, coconut oil is not a replacement for vegetable oil, since it hardens like butter)
I think in the states, we call a lot of seasonal loaf cakes 'bread' like pumpkin bread, but in anyother country it would probably be a type of cake that you'd have with a cup of tea.

I have done this several times over 2 years. The recipe really works! Thanks Molly, you are an amazing cook!
So if I whip sugar into butter, I get frosting, but if I whip maple syrup into butter I get butter, and then I'm eating bread, not cake.
That's math
You also don't butter the whole bread when it cools down. With frosting you frost the whole cake.
Plus the texture of maple butter is most likely different from frosting
You're gonna have to bake to really find out lol. Also send some of the cake my way
it's the ratio that matter. A frosting is mostly all sugar with butter while this was mostly all butter with some maple syrup.
Don't overthink this.
@@user-kp5uy8vd8o who says I don't butter the whole thing

I love that we're acknowledging that quick bread loafs are in a murky space where they're not quite cakes, but also not really breads. Anyone want to talk about how muffins are essentially cupcakes without frosting?
Muffins are usually made with the quickbread method, hence why they're often split open and eaten with butter... like bread.
I know, but the first time I made muffins from scratch and saw how much sugar you put in I genuinely wondered what made them not cupcakes. Ah the misconceptions of youth and thinking if it had fruit or vegetables in it it was healthy...
And I'll be honest, I don't put butter on my muffins, or things like zucchini bread or pumpkin bread. Just not a big fan of butter as a topping. I make an exception for hot toast.

What is the advantage of using olive oil in the batter compared to using butter ?
ProfessorJones7 butter has a water phase which tends to change the texture when compared to pure fats.
flavor and texture. oil will give you a finer but more dense crumb.
Keeps the crumb structure small and also makes the cake super moist!
@@adbreon So using clarified butter which is next to 100% fat would do the same job with the added benefit of its delicious taste ?
@@ProfessorJones7 No because butter becomes solid when it cools, oil doesn't. Besides, the olive oil does give flavour! I used a lot less sugar in the recipe and its sweetness in the end reminded me a lot if maple in that it has savoury undertones if you know what I mean.
