Pecan Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Glaze. The best pumpkin bread and glaze you’ll ever eat.
I meant to post this last night. I sat at the computer and thought I’m just going to see what some of my food blogging buddies are up to. 2 hours later it was time for bed. I think Fall really brings out such yummy comforting food, photos and recipes. I was in love with so many offerings and before I knew it no work got done on my part, lol. But I was ok with it, sometimes you just need to decompress and looking at beautiful, delicious food does that for me.
I can’t think of a better way to start the day than by bringing this amazing Pecan Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Glaze your way. If you want to start the Autumn vibe in your home then you need to bake this bread immediately. The smell is intoxicating, all the beautiful Fall like scents will fill your house. The bread itself is the most moist and delicious pumpkin can offer with the help of all the right spices and the added crunch of salted, roasted, pecans.
I’m a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to glazing pumpkin bread so I chose cream cheese for the base. However I wanted to add that “something special”. I added pumpkin spice flavor through the addition of Baileys Pumpkin Spice, its smooth and creamy like the classic Baileys but has the added flavoring of all the spices you would find in a pumpkin pie. It took the cream cheese glaze to a whole new level.
The garnish is simple but perfect! Salted, roasted pecans. Sweet, crunchy and right bit of salty to balance the sweet.
Put the Pecan Pumpkin Bread together with the Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Glaze and you have the most magical Fall experience you could ever smell and taste.
Cheers to Autumn!!
Enjoy!
