A warm slice of spicy pumpkin bread is perfectly delicious on it’s own, but you’re certain to up the ante with this Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling. Serve it for breakfast, brunch or at tea time for an irresistible seasonal treat.
Fall Flavors Shine in this Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling
The flavors we associate with fall just somehow make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Cinnamon, nutmeg, apple pie and pumpkin pie spice all seem to encapsulate the definition of seasonal fall desserts. Many of our family favorites include Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles, Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Trifle and cream cheese filled Pumpkin Roll just to name as few. Also, fun individual size Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Muffins like these from The Busy Baker are another delicious option. Because of all of these options and more, I never put those spices away and limit their use.They can be used year-round in a plethora of other desserts and quick breads like this cream cheese filled pumpkin bread. Think for a moment, apple pie is just as popular during the summer months as it is during harvest, so you’re certain to use apple pie spice again and again.
Things of Note
I always like to mention a few tips for your baking success. It’s always my goal that you be able to recreate this and all of my recipes with ease.
- When making the cream cheese filling, make certain it’s fully combined so it will maintain it’s integrity while baking.
- When adding the filling to the batter, leave at least a 1/2 inch barrier between the cream cheese filling and the edge of the batter for the best result.
- Please note the size of the pan is 9 x 5 inches.
- I recommend this bread be served chilled.
