Glazed Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Fall = apples and pumpkins, inside and out. (Who doesn’t love apple crisp?) Since we’ve been enjoying the whole pumpkin theme for ingredients lately, I thought we’d try a breakfast bread that can easily be brought on the go, with and without the glaze. So here is our latest- Glazed Pumpkin Bread Recipe that’s easy to make, and everyone loves it!

Glazed Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Ingredients

1 15 oz. can of 100% pure pumpkin

1 C. oil (you could also substitute applesauce if you’d prefer)

Glaze Ingredients –

2 C. powdered sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

2 tbs. butter softened (I prefer using real butter, not margarine)

2-3 tbs. milk (this depends on how thin or thick you want your glaze. The more milk you add, the thinner the glaze will be and vice-versa).

#3. Pour the pumpkin batter evenly into the two greased loaf pans.

#4. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Bread will turn a light golden brown color.

#5. Remove the loaves from the oven and let cool completely. While they are cooling, mix up the ingredients for the glaze.

Why pumpkin?  It’s easy. Pumpkin is a superfood. Pumpkin adds extra fiber and Vitamin A to recipes. It’s packed with beta-carotene. It can be used to replace the fat in some recipes and cut the amount of sodium per serving in others. It can also reduce calories when used as a replacement for butter, eggs, or oil. It can be incorporated into breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and beverages – all that taste great.  You can feature the pumpkin flavor and create your recipes around pumpkin, or you can “tuck” it into other recipes to get the added benefits of pumpkin and not have the dish be all about the pumpkin.
