- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 (8-ounces) can drained crushed pineapple

- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar

- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Maple Glaze
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese

- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 5 x 2.5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. If desired, line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Be sure to leave a 1-inch overhang on both sides and spray the parchment lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine 2 large eggs, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 (8-ounces) can drained crushed pineapple, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup peeled and grated sweet potato, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
- Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the bread. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it and letting it cool completely on a cooling rack.
