For the bread: Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Generously grease a loaf pan.

Cream the butter, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla in a large bowl.
4
Usa a separate, large bowl and a wire whisk to mix the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
5
Stir in the pecans.
6
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until barely incorporated - do not over mix.
7
Spoon batter into greased loaf pan.
8
Bake until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
