Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread is incredible bread that will be perfect for any dinner, dessert, or even a quick grab and go breakfast, and it is pretty simple to make.  With the recipe it only makes one loaf but I hate putting a partial can of pumpkin in the fridge, well I bought the big can that was 29 ounces, anyways so I ended up tripling the recipe, made three loafs but kept the bread mix in three separate bowls so it was easy to split into the bread pans. If you are good at measuring things out you can triple it in one bowl, make just a single loaf, whatever fits your needs.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a  bread loaf pan with non-stick spray and then dust it with flour, the flour makes it a lot easier to get the bread out of the pan.
  2. For the bread, mix the first 10 ingredients well in a large bowl.
  3. Add in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, gently stir in just until combined; don’t overmix.
  4. Pour about 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan spreading it smooth and pushing it into the corners. Set aside.
  5. For the cream cheese filling put all ingredients into a mixer and cream until nice and fluffy, usually about five minutes.
  6. Evenly pour the cream cheese filling mixture over the bread, be careful not to push the filling into the pumpkin mixture but getting it to all the edges.
  7. Top the cream cheese layer with the remaining pumpkin batter, smoothing the top without pushing it into the cream cheese layer and again still covering the cream cheese getting the pumpkin mix to all edges.
  8. Bake for about 50 minutes or until the bread slightly starts to pull away from the edges.
  9. Allow the bread to slightly cool in the pan, then gently run a spatula along the edges and turn over onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
