Pumpkin Gingerbread has always been one of my favorite flavored breads, and today I decided to take my original recipe and do some tweaking. The result? Warm, moist, made-from-scratch, delectable Pumpkin Gingerbread with Spiced Glaze.

How to Make Pumpkin Gingerbread with Spiced Glaze Recipe

To Make Pumpkin Gingerbread with Spiced Glaze You Will Need

1 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree
2/3 cups of water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 cups of white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 – 2.5 teaspoons ground ginger
1 – 2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 – 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 – 2 teaspoon ground cloves

For The Spiced Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch ground ginger
Pinch ground cloves

Directions to make Pumpkin Gingerbread with Spiced Glaze

Preheat oven to 325°.
Lightly grease two 9 inch x 5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil and eggs, beating until smooth.
Next, add water and mix well.
Add in the pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, clove and allspice, stirring until well mixed.
In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture, stirring until just blended.
Pour into greased pans until each pan is about 1/2 to 3/4 full.
Place in oven for 1 hour and 15 mins for a 9 x 5 loaf pan, or 45 minutes for the mini loaves. 

For the Spiced Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the warm bread and allow to set before serving. (If the mixture is too stiff to drizzle, whisk in a small splash of milk at a time to thin it out.)

Your pumpkin gingerbread looks delicious! I need a "pumpkin spice" break (too much pumpkin spice in my coffee, I think), but this would be lovely around Thanksgiving when I'm recovered from pumpkin overload. Your recipe (and photos) look divine. Our latest foray into pumpkin baking were some cookies that got gobbled up within a day. Thank you for sharing!
