Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Bread:
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Prepare the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the bread: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another bowl, mix the oil, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter, then top with the remaining pumpkin batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
