Instructions
Frosted Pumpkin Bread
- Preheat oven to 375. Grease a metal loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a fork to mix the pumpkin puree, oat or almond milk, maple syrup, sugar or purecane, melted vegan butter, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and pumpkin pie spices until well combined.
- Then, mix in the baking powder and baking soda. Add the flour and mix until a batter forms. Don't over mix the flour or the bread will be tough.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 metal loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes.
- While the pumpkin bread is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter together to make the cream cheese frosting. Spread the frosting over the bread once it has cooled and enjoy!
Notes
Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store on the counter for 3-4 days or in the fridge for about 1 week. Any longer than that and you can freeze it in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to about 3 months.
