• Pumpkin puree. I used my Easy Homemade Pumpkin Puree recipe, but store-bought will also work.
• Whole milk. Keeps the bread moist.

How To Make Pumpkin Spice Bread

This is a simple and straightforward recipe to make. Making the bread is quick and easy and virtually fool-proof. To make this pumpkin bread:

1. Prepare your oven and pan. Preheat your oven to 350F and line and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
2. Combine dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking powder, and baking soda.
3. Combine wet ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine the wet and dry. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix.
5. Fill the pan. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
6. Bake. Place the loaf pan in the center of your oven and bake for 45 - 55 minutes, or until completely cooked through.

While the pumpkin bread is baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze:

1. Soften cream cheese. In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until it is soft and smooth.
2. Add remaining ingredients. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth and well combined.
3. Glaze the bread. Once the pumpkin bread has cooled, top with the cream cheese glaze and enjoy!
