I don't have a pumpkin bread recipe memorized, so I can't help with that (I'm not at home and don't have the internet there) but I remember my cream cheese frosting recipe.  There's actually two.

#1  Someone else's recipe

     8 oz butter

     8 oz cream cheese

     1 tsp vanilla

     1 pound powdered sugar

     Mix all together, frost items and eat.

#2  My recipe (and the tastier one of the two)

     16 oz cream cheese

     1 tbsp vanilla

     1 pound powdered sugar

     Mix all together and eat straight from the bowl.  If there's any left, frost the muffins.

These are approximate measurements- I never measure unless it's a new recipe.  I usually eyeball and modify it to taste.  I hope it helps!

These pumpkin cupcakes are amazing.  They're light and very cupcake like, but still strongly pumpkin flavored.  And the Maple Cream Cheese Frosting is awesome.

If you want more of a muffin texture I'd go with this recipe.  I usually replace half the oil with applesauce.  It's a big recipe and would make a ton of muffins.  I'd half it unless I was freezing some or baking for a crowd.

If I can replace half the oil with applesauce, do you think I can just replace half the oil with more pumpkin? Would be making these from my own homemade pumpkin puree, so am not limited by can sizes, but I don't have applesauce. I was thinking cooked pumpkin is kind of similar in texture and 'substance' to applesauce.

I don't see why not, but I'm not a baking expert.
