Hummingbird Bread with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Make the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar gradually, followed by the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until light, fluffy, and spreadable.
2. Frost the Bread: Once the bread is completely cooled, spread the frosting generously over the top using a spatula or knife, creating soft swirls for a bakery-style finish.
3. Serve: Slice and serve immediately, or chill briefly to allow the frosting to set slightly before cutting.

Serving Suggestions

This hummingbird bread is delicious served slightly chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a dessert, a sweet brunch option, or a special treat with coffee or tea.

Storage & Make-Ahead

Store the frosted bread covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best flavor and texture, allow slices to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. The unfrosted loaf can also be baked a day ahead and frosted just before serving.

Moist, warmly spiced, and topped with luscious cinnamon cream cheese frosting, this Hummingbird Bread is a comforting classic you’ll find yourself baking again and again.
