This Hummingbird Bread with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting is a rich, moist quick bread inspired by the beloved Southern hummingbird cake. Packed with ripe bananas, sweet crushed pineapple, warm spices, and crunchy nuts, it delivers incredible flavor and texture in every slice. Finished with a silky cinnamon-kissed cream cheese frosting, this loaf feels indulgent yet comforting — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
The combination of fruit keeps the bread exceptionally tender, while cinnamon and nutmeg add cozy warmth. Once cooled and topped with the creamy frosting, this loaf becomes a true showstopper that’s just as welcome on a holiday table as it is with a cup of coffee on a quiet afternoon.
