  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  3. Make the cream cheese filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Assemble the bread: Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan, top with cream cheese filling, and cover with the remaining pumpkin batter.
  5. Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool before slicing.
