Directions

Step 1: Prepare pans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the inside of 2, 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, Pumpkin Pie Spice, baking powder, Fine Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar, sour cream, oil, and Natural Butterscotch Extract until fully combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition.

Step 4: Combine

Add dry ingredients to the large bowl with wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir until fully combined. Stir in pecans and butterscotch chips, reserving a handful of each to sprinkle on top.

Step 5: Bake

Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Sprinkle reserved pecans and butterscotch chips over both loaves. Bake for 40 to 45 min. or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove pans from oven and let cool for 15 min. before removing loaves to a wire rack. Cool loaves completely before slicing and serving.
