Furthermore, this recipe is a great one to have on hand for gifting. Recently I made six loaves of it (three batches) for a teacher appreciation luncheon.

These are also great for bringing as a hostess gift without having to worry about a pan to return.

How to Make Glazed Pumpkin Bread

Moreover, making the bread couldn’t be easier. First, mix all of the dry ingredients in a medium bowl with a whisk. Next, use a hand mixer to combine the pumpkin, oil, sugar, and eggs. Combine the two and pour into loaf pans. Bake for about a hour, cool, then cover with glaze. So simple yet so delicious! Feel free to freeze any additional loaves for up to a month in an airtight container.

So whip up a batch or two (or three!) of this better-than-Starbucks Glazed Pumpkin Bread and have it on hand for breakfast, brunch, or a delicious midday treat! If you are looking for another great quick bread recipe, don’t miss my easy and delicious One Bowl Banana Bread.
