Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread

 

I love the contrast of the golden brown pumpkin bread and the white ribbon of cream cheese. Pumpkin baked goods is what I look forward to in the fall, not drinks. Adding a creamy cheese filling to that bread just makes it even better.

Pumpkin Bread

• 1 egg
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup canola oil

Cream Cheese Filling

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, canola oil, sour cream and cinnamon until well mixed. Add in the pumpkin puree and stir until well mixed.
3. Add in the baking powder, baking soda and flour. Stir just until combined.
4. Spoon half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
5. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the egg, sugar, cream cheese and flour. Gently spread the mixture into an even layer over the pumpkin batter. Spoon the remaining pumpkin batter over top of the cream cheese layer and gently spread into an even layer, trying not to disturb the cream cheese layer.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until and inserted toothpick comes out clean.
7. Remove the bread from the pan and place on a cooking rack and allow to cool completely.

Enjoy!!!
