Homemade Pumpkin bread with Cream Cheese Topping

Directions

• Whisk pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, milk, and eggs in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well, then gradually pour the dry mixture into the mixing bowl with the pumpkin mixture.
• Stir well to combine thoroughly.
• Prepare a 9×5 Non-stick Loaf Pan with parchment paper. Pour mixture evenly into the loaf pan.
• Bake batter at 350°F for 55 – 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

How To Make The Topping

• While the bread cools, beat cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
• Next, gradually beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. If topping is too thick, add milk or heavy cream.
• Spread the mixture over the top of the bread and allow it to set (about 30 minutes).
• Cut into slices and enjoy.
