Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper and spray or grease with oil or non-stick oil spray.
Combine the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Set aside.
Combine pumpkin puree, eggs, and avocado oil in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Add the wet pumpkin mixture to the dry mixture and whisk until thoroughly mixed.
Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread around until the batter is evenly distributed.
Bake the loaf on the oven's center rack for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center of the bread clean.
Let the pumpkin bread cool completely before pulling the parchment paper on both sides of the loaf to release it from the pan.
While the pumpkin bread is cooling, you can make the cream cheese frosting. Add the cream cheese to a small bowl and heat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to soften it.
Add the powdered sweetener, maple or vanilla extract, and one tablespoon of the heavy cream to the softened cream cheese. Whisk together until smooth.
Add a tablespoon more heavy cream or a little more if needed until you achieve desired consistency.
Once pumpkin bread is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the loaf. Sprinkle with optional pumpkin seeds. Slice and serve.
