Pumkin Walnut Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting!

We love making bread! Kellie and I had found a pumpkin walnut bread at Williams-Sonoma but it was 10 bucks. We ended up getting it but wanted to find a recipe that wouldnt cost more than a few dollars and that was equally delicious. I found this recipe online and it turned out to be wonderful!


Pumkin Walnut Bread Recipe:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 tsp bakng soda
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup olive oil
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method: Preheat oven to 350. Sift together salt, flour, sugar and baking soda. Mix pumpkin, oil, eggs, water and spices together. Then combine with the dry ingredients. Do NOT mix too thoroughly! Stir in walnuts.  We doubled this recipe and that worked out well! Pour into a well greased loaf pan. Bake 50-60 minutes.

Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
3 tbsp salted butter
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Blend until creamy and smooth 2-3 minutes.
