Ingredient Notes

• Eggs
• Pumpkin puree
• Vegetable oil
• Sugar
• Ground ginger
• Ground nutmeg
• All-purpose flour
• Salt
• Baking soda

Simple Maple Glaze Frosting:

• Powdered sugar
• Maple syrup (more or less)

How to make Pumpkin Bread with Maple Glaze:

1. Set oven to 350F
2. Spray a non-stick standard loaf pan with cooking spray.
3. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk (no need to a hand mixer) in the wet ingredients, pumpkin, oil, sugar, ginger, and nutmeg.
4. Stir in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and mix until combined.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and even out with a spatula.
6. Bake until a toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it, about 50 minutes.
7. Let the bread cool almost to room temperature before glazing.
8. To make the glaze, whisk together the sugar with enough maple syrup to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Spread onto the cooled bread and serve.

Recipe Notes

• You can change up the topping to what you like — a maple cream cheese frosting or streusel topping would be a great option instead or even to go along with the maple icing.
• Lining the pan with parchment paper is a great way to remove the pumpkin loaf from the prepared loaf pan.
• Add in chocolate chips for even more deliciousness to the pumpkin mixture.
• Turn this into a healthy pumpkin bread recipe by using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, just be sure to melt it first.
• This recipe also works well being made into mini loaves for easy sharing.

Storage Suggestions

• Room Temperature: Store leftover pumpkin bread in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Refrigerator: Store leftover bread in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
• Freezer: Wrap the loaf or individual slices in 3-4 layers of plastic wrap, and place in a large freezer bag. Store bread in the freezer for up 3 months. Thaw at room temperature overnight.
