    Why I Love This Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread

    • It’s soft, dense, and not overly sweet.
    • I love enjoying a slice of it with a cup of coffee or a cup of crockpot hot chocolate.
    • Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!

    Ingredient Notes

    Pumpkin Puree – Not pumpkin pie mix!

    Cream Cheese – Make sure you use brick-style cream cheese and not the one that comes in a tub.

    Sour Cream – Use full fat!

    How To Make

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
    2. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, egg, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix well.
    3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, egg, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, oil, and sour cream.
    4. Add the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, baking soda to the pumpkin mixture and mix until well combined. Don’t overmix.
    5. Add half of the pumpkin mixture to the loaf pan and smooth it out with a rubber spatula.
    6. Pour in the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin mixture and smooth it out.
    7. Top the cream cheese mixture with the remaining pumpkin mixture and smooth it out very gently.
    8. Bake for 45 minutes and let it cool for 4 hours before slicing into it.

    Top Tips

    • Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature.
    • Use room temperature eggs.
    • Don’t overbake or over mix the batter.
    • Let the cream cheese pumpkin bread cool for 4 hours before slicing into it. It won’t taste pleasant hot. 

    Can I Use Fresh Pumpkin Instead Of Canned Pumpkin?

    I highly recommend using canned pumpkin puree for this recipe.

    How Do I Know When The Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread Is Done?

    Place a skewer or knife in the center of the bread and if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s ready!

    Storage

    Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
