Best Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Spice Glaze

This bread lasted all of about 4 seconds in our house. I’m not kidding. My kids have become the biggest pumpkin lovers and they devoured this bread almost before I could try a slice! It seriously is THAT good. You need to make some!

Best Pumpkin Bread Recipe

I know there are about a million pumpkin bread recipes out there, but I noticed that most of them are loaded with chocolate chips (not a bad thing!!) or they are just plain and look a little dry and boring. My version is definitely NOT dry…or boring. Pumpkin spice is baked into the bread and glazed over the top, and dripping down the sides. Ahhhh, it’s heavenly!

Next time I am making 2 loaves…maybe even three. That way I know I will have at least one slice all to myself 😉
