- 80 g granulated cane sugar
- 225 g all-purpose flour or cake flour

Instructions
Make the pumpkin bread:
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Prepare an 8" by 4" loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, yogurt (or milk + vinegar), avocado oil, and granulated sugar.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt.
- Use a spatula to fold the mixture together, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter the loaf pan and give it a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake at 350°F/177°C for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with the slightest crumbs clinging to it.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool before icing.
Cup of Yum
For the pumpkin spice icing:
- In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Give it a stir. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding additional powdered sugar or milk.
- For a thinner icing, add more milk; for a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar.
- Spread the icing over the surface of the pumpkin bread and top with additional pumpkin spice.
- Let the icing set before slicing.
Notes
- Can be kept covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or sliced individually, wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month.
