  • 1 kitchen aid or handheld mixer

Ingredients

  • 1¾ cup pumpkin puree 1 14oz can
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

Pumpkin Bread

  • Whisk together the dry ingredients and sugar in a large mixing bowl.

  • Add dry and wet ingredients until just combined; it's okay if batter is lumpy.

  • Bake pumpkin bread at 350℉ for 60 minutes.

For the icing:

  • Combined softened butter, cream cheese, vanilla, sifted sugar and milk into the KitchenAid. Whip frosting until it is light and fluffy.

Notes

Cut a slit in the top of the bread before baking to help control the rise and have an even top.
Frosting tip: Add more milk to the frosting if is too thick. Make sure butter is melted before adding to the icing mixture.
