Instructions

Make the pumpkin bread:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
  • Prepare an 8" by 4" loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, yogurt (or milk + vinegar), avocado oil, and granulated sugar.
  • Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt.
  • Use a spatula to fold the mixture together, being careful not to overmix.
  • Transfer the batter the loaf pan and give it a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.
  • Bake at 350°F/177°C for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with the slightest crumbs clinging to it. 
  • Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool before icing. 

For the pumpkin spice icing:

  • In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and pumpkin pie spice. 
  • Give it a stir. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding additional powdered sugar or milk.
  • For a thinner icing, add more milk; for a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar. 
  • Spread the icing over the surface of the pumpkin bread and top with additional pumpkin spice.
  • Let the icing set before slicing.
