Ingredients

Pumpkin Bread

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin spice
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup Icing sugar
  • 2 Tbsp softened butter
  • 4 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease two bread pans.
  • Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and sugar in a bowl.
  • Add the eggs, oil, water, and pumpkin puree to the dry ingredients.
  • Mix well.
  • Pour batter in prepared pans.
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until you can poke a toothpick in it and it comes out dry.
  • While the pumpkin bread is cooking, mix up the glaze.
  • In a bowl mix together the icing sugar, butter, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. You can use a mixer but I found a fork or whisk works just fine.
  • When bread is completely cooled, drizzle glaze over it. (Don't do this while it's warm or it'll melt off.)

Notes

*If you don't have pumpkin spice, use 2.5 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp of ginger in place of it.
