Indulge in the cozy flavors of fall with this delightful Cream Cheese-Filled Pumpkin Bread. Moist and spiced pumpkin bread is swirled with a luscious cream cheese filling for a perfect balance of flavors in every bite.
Combine the batter: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
Prepare cream cheese filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Layer the batter: Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan, then spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over it. Top with the remaining pumpkin batter and smooth the surface.
Bake: Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly during the last 15 minutes.
Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
This bread slices best when fully cooled or chilled.
