Sugar Crusted + Iced Pumpkin Bread
Whether you’re craving a sweet breakfast or a delicious dessert , this pumpkin bread is a must. This time of season, I like all things pumpkin and I’ll admit that I’ve already made this a few times to snack on this year. I love warm bread and enjoy it especially in the morning.
This bread is like pound cake, very thick yet full of moisture. It’s topped with thick layer of a baked sugar and cinnamon crust and is then topped with dreamy icing. The crust is delectable while the bread is moist and full of pumpkin flavor. Bake this for the family and enjoy it with a warm cup of coffee, tea or juice.
Pumpkin bread is incredibly easy to make. In fact, it doesn’t even require a mixer, just a bowl and spatula/spoon and a bread loaf pan. We’ve used a healthy amount of pumpkin puree in this recipe and paired it with the perfect amount of warm spices to enhance the flavor. While the bread is good on it’s own, I like to top with homemade Cinnamon Honey Butter.
The butter is whipped with honey, powdered sugar and cinnamon and adds a delicious sweetness to the bread that pairs together wonderfully. Since the butter only takes a few minutes to make, it’s a must try!
Possibly the best of the making this recipe is being able to smell it bake in the oven for over an hour. The pumpkin and spice aroma was so strong, it brought everyone out of their bedroom. This time of year is just my favorite. There is so much happiness in making homemade food. Most importantly, it brings loved one’s together and that alone brings so much satisfaction.
More about this bread. It tastes great topped with ice cream, butter and maple syrup. It can be made ahead of time and enjoyed throughout the week. The sugar crust and icing is a must! To store the bread, wrap it tightly in saran wrap or foil and store in a freezer safe bag. Thaw before serving.
