Instructions
Make the bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line with parchment paper..
- In a large bowl, add the flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir together.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract and beat on low with an electric mixer. Add in the eggs one at a time, blending between each addition.
- Then add in the pumpkin puree and stir to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients in batches to the wet ingredients and mix on low until everything combines.
- Pour the batter into a prepared loaf tin.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Then remove from the tin and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
Make the Frosting:
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract and beat until fluffy.
- Add in the powdered sugar in batches. (add ½-1 cup more to thicken the frosting more if desired).
- Spread the frosting on the top of the bread and add chopped nuts and sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- Swap the butter in the bread for an equal amount of unsweetened applesauce for a lower calorie option.
- Use gluten free one-to-one flour if desired. Like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten free flour.
- Use all granulated white sugar or all brown sugar in the bread if desired.
- Cover the top of the pan with foil if it starts to look too brown at around 45 minutes of baking. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freeze without the frosting for up to 2 months. Wrap the bread in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before placing in a freezer safe container or freezer bag.
