Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Bread Batter
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Loaf Pan
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, oil, sugar, and eggs. Mix until smooth. Stir in dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into prepared loaf pan. Spread cream cheese mixture on top, then cover with remaining batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
  6. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool before slicing.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
