Glazed Pumpkin Bread

Glazed Pumpkin Bread

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love the decorations! I love going to the pumpkin patch and picking pumpkins. I love making all things pumpkin as well!  I love all of our little traditions each Halloween.

Each year Jon and I sit just outside of our garage and pass out Halloween treats. (We have 3 dogs, it’s much easier just to sit outside, than having to hold 3 dogs back while answering the door.) We order pizza and just hang out. Last year, we didn’t get a single trick-or-treater…it was very sad… (Our neighborhood didn’t have many homes built yet.) This year, with more homes in the neighborhood, we might get at least one!

So since I love pumpkin, I came up with my own Glazed Pumpkin Bread recipe in honor of Halloween. I baked mine in a bundt pan. I love the look of it. The pumpkin bread is topped with a caramel, maple syrup, and Bailey’s Irish Cream glaze. The glaze adds a nice touch of sweetness to the bread and keeps it moist. The bread is nice and light, almost cake-like. The pumpkin pie spice really allows the pumpkin flavor to shine through. You can enjoy this for breakfast with coffee or as dessert.

Let’s get baking!

First I started out by roasting my sugar pumpkin. See it there? Isn’t it cute!?!?!?
