Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, heat pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice over medium heat. Stir often for about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in sugar, brown sugar, oil, and cream cheese. Whisk for several minutes until all of the cream cheese is mixed in. Let sit for 5 minutes to cool before adding the eggs.
- Whisk in eggs and buttermilk until fully mixed together. After it is completely smooth, fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Grease two 8 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray or butter. Pour batter into pans.
- Bake for 40-44 minutes or until the center is cooked through. Check by placing a toothpick in the center to make sure it comes out clean. Let pumpkin loaves cool for 20 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack. Let cool.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla bean paste and mix for 1-2 minutes longer.
- Spread on cooled pumpkin loaf. Cover and refrigerate.
Notes
- Pure Pumpkin Puree — when making this frosted pumpkin bread, use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is just pumpkin, while pumpkin pie filling contains added sugars and spices.
