Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While cooling, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Once cooled, spread over the pumpkin bread slices.
