I have been waiting and waiting for fall just because it’s my favorite baking season!   All of the pumpkin and apples in recipes just makes for an awesome fall time of year.  This month the Bread Bakers are sharing Pumpkin or Pumpkin Spice Breads and I couldn’t wait to get started.  Our host this month is Kylee from Kylee Cooks.

Love this tasty Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Chips and a trio of frostings!

I have a pumpkin quick bread recipe that I use every year that I love but I’ve been wanting to fancy it up a bit.   I got my chance with this challenge.  I turned my regular old pumpkin bread into a delicious Cinnamon Spice Pumpkin Bread with Walnuts.

Everything you need to make Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Chips!

Now I started with the recipe I usually use.   It’s easy and I know it works so why mess with it?  But then I added in cinnamon chips and chopped walnuts.  The cinnamon chips add a sweetness and a spiciness while the walnuts add a nice texture.

Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Chips!

I also decided to make mini breads so that I could frost them in three different ways and share them at work.  This recipe will make 2 regular sized bread loaves or 16 mini loaves of bread.   I just happen to have an awesome pan that makes 8 mini loaves at a time.

I love pumpkin bread but it's even better with cinnamon chips in it!

The bread smelled like fall as it baked up.  I could smell cinnamon, sugar, and pumpkin.  Nothing smells better then that!   After it baked I popped them out to cool while I mixed up the frosting.  I made a regular buttercream frosting and then divided it into three bowls.

Fall is here and this Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Chips and a trio of frosting is amazing!

I made one bowl of cinnamon frosting, one of salted caramel frosting, and one of chocolate frosting.  My personal favorite was the salted caramel as it just added another dimension of saltiness and sweetness to the bread.   I know some of my friends like the rich chocolate frosting paired with the pumpkin.

Which Pumpkin Bread is your favorite? I've topped them with chocolate frosting, cinnamon frosting, or salted caramel frosting.

This is one of the best pumpkin bread recipes I’ve made and the frosting on top is just the “icing on the cake”.  If you enjoy pumpkin bread give this one a try the next time you have a fall gathering.   Your guests will thank you!
