  • Sift in the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
  • Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Mine took about 65 minutes to bake.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a bowl, add the room temperature butter and cream cheese and beat using a handheld mixer for about 2-3 minutes until completely smooth and combined.
  • Add salt, and powdered sugar ½ cup at a time until all is incorporated.
  • Lastly, add the cinnamon and beat for a few minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  • Frost the Pumpkin Bread, slice, and enjoy. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

Make sure it's pure pumpkin puree, and not pumpkin pie filling. My favorite brand of Pumpkin Puree is by Libby's. You can also make your own.
