Easy pumpkin bread with cream cheese icing. This pumpkin bread has the perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors with walnuts inside.

Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Pumpkin bread is a classic fall dessert around here. Every year I make a few loaves, one to keep and the others to giveaway to family. I have to keep it out of my house as much as possible or else I’ll eat them all! Especially since my husband doesn’t like pumpkin or pumpkin desserts..say what? Yeah, I think he’s crazy too.  I live for pumpkin desserts in the fall. There’s something so comforting about pumpkin bread, muffins, and of course lattes. I’ve spent the last few weeks thoroughly enjoying all of this and I can’t get enough of pumpkin! I usually don’t eat pumpkin any other time for the year, which left me feeling like I need to take it all in. Two weeks ago I spent a whole weekend baking recipes to share with you over the next month. My list included everything pumpkin and apple I could think of. I also have a themed dessert week coming up that I’m excited to share! Ironically it has nothing to do with fall desserts, but they’re definitely some of my favorite treats!

This pumpkin bread recipe is our favorite. It’s a sweet and spicy blend of our favorite fall spices in a moist pumpkin bread, then topped with a cream cheese icing.

Hi, on the ingredients listed for the bread how much flour does one use? Is it 3 and 1/3 cups or something different?
Thanks. I’m definitely going to try this :)
