Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin

  • ½ cup half-and-half

  • 2 tablespoon packed brown sugar

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup cold butter, cubed

  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoon melted butter

  • ½ cup chopped pecans, toasted*

Directions

  1. Coat a 4-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray or line the slow cooker with a disposable liner. In a medium bowl stir together pumpkin, half-and-half, and brown sugar; set aside.

  2. In a large bowl stir together the 2 cups flour, the baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the 1/4 cup cold butter until pieces are pea-size. Add pumpkin mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until combined. In a small bowl combine blueberries and the 1 tablespoon flour; toss until berries are coated. Fold berries into flour mixture.

  3. Spoon mixture into prepared slow cooker. Pour maple syrup and the 2 tablespoons melted butter over mixture in slow cooker; sprinkle with pecans.

  4. Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Turn off slow cooker. Carefully remove lid so condensation from lid does not drip onto bread. Cover opening of slow cooker completely with paper towels; place lid on top. Cool for 30 to 45 minutes. Serve bread warm from slow cooker.
