Pumpkin Sage Browned Butter Quick Bread

Time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal. This month I was assigned Julie's blog Little Bit of Everything.  Julie has so many great recipes on her blog and I spent a lot of time looking through them all.  I finally decided on the Pumpkin Sage Browned Butter Quick Bread as November is the perfect month to make a pumpkin recipe, and I don't make quick breads often so it would be something new for us. 

This is a really great pumpkin quick bread and I loved the browned butter and the addition of the sage.   Julie made her bread into 8 mini loaves but I didn't have mini loaf pans, so I made just one large pumpkin bread.

 

  

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh sage, thiny sliced
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp salt
1 cup pumpkin
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350

Spray a bread pan with non stick cooking spray.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan, add the sage strips, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the butter is golden brown.  Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In a seperate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sugar and eggs. Whisk in the browned butter with sage.  Add the flour mixture and stir until combined.  Pour mixture into bread pan, place on a baking sheet and bake for 50-55 minutes.
