Set oven to 350F
Spray a non-stick standard loaf pan with cooking spray.
Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the pumpkin, oil, sugar, ginger, and nutmeg.
Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
Pour the batter into the pan and even out with a spatula.
Bake until a toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it, about 50 minutes.
Let the loaf cool almost to room temperature before glazing.
To make the glaze, whisk together the sugar with enough maple syrup to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Spread onto the cooled bread and serve.

You can change up the topping to what you like -- a maple cream cheese frosting or streusel topping would be a great option instead or even to go along with the maple icing.
Lining the pan with parchment paper is a great way to remove the pumpkin loaf from the prepared loaf pan.
Add in chocolate chips for even more deliciousness to the pumpkin mixture.
Turn this into a healthy pumpkin bread recipe by using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, just be sure to melt it first.
This also works well being made into mini loaves for easy sharing.
