Fall Baked Goods– Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread
Rich, Warm, and Flavorful Fall Baked Goods – Cream Cheese Filled Pumpkin Bread: It’s moist, creamy and infused with decadent fall flavors!
Ingredients
- 1/8- ounce package of cream cheese softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and with a non-stick spray, grease a 9-by-9-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
- To prepare the cream cheese filling, take a medium bowl and use an electric mixer to whisk in the cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth and put aside.
- To make the bread, take another medium bowl and add in the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Whisk together everything then set aside.
- Take a different large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat together the sugar, eggs, the oil, and the pumpkin puree until combined.
- Pour the flour mixture over the pumpkin mixture, little by little until well combined.
- Pour 1 ½ cups of the batter into the greased loaf pan. Top this layer with the prepared cream cheese mixture, spread evenly then pour the rest of the batter.
- Bake for 85 to 95 minutes (check with a toothpick to make sure it’s done; if it comes out clean then you’re good to go). During the last 15 minutes of baking, you can use foil to cover the pan to have softer edges.
- Allow it to cool for 15 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
