  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Cream Cheese Filling
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Pumpkin Bread:
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cream Cheese Filling:
  6. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  7. Add sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  8. Assembly:
  9. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  10. Gently spread all of the cream cheese filling over the batter in an even layer.
  11. Spoon remaining pumpkin batter in dollops over the cream cheese layer and gently spread to cover.
  12. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  13. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge because of the cream cheese filling. Serve warm with butter or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
