Cream Cheese Filled Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
Cream Cheese Filling
- 1 8 ounce package of cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Bread
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- For the cream cheese middle: In a medium bowl using an electric mixer combine the cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg and the vanilla and beat until smooth. Set aside.
- For the bread: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and the pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat together the vegetable oil, sugar, eggs and the pumpkin puree until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture a little at a time, stir until just evenly combined.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the top of this layer and spread evenly, then add the remaining batter.
- Bake for 85 to 95 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For softer edges cover with foil the last 15 minutes of baking. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing, then place on a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.

My daughter-in-law baked this for Thanksgiving this year 2024. It was delicious and beautiful. I got the recipe and gave it a try. Mine didn’t turn out as pretty or taste as good as hers. I’m going to try it again because I think maybe I skipped a ingredient.
I started baking this when I first found recipe on 2020. Have done so every Thanksgiving and Christmas since. Everybody loves it. So easy to bake and I love making desserts so this is a plus as it is easy and so well liked. Thanks for sharing.
My boyfriend hates pumpkin. He loves this bread. I usually make two loaves when I make it since it makes sense with the can of pumpkin.
He doesn’t want me to share the second loaf. I’ve also made mini loaves with it for coworkers at the holidays. It’s very versatile. It does take a little longer to bake at higher altitude but other than that I didn’t have to adjust.
YAY! So glad you both liked it. :)
What size can of pumpkin?
