How To Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

As I've mentioned, this recipe is wonderfully simple for having so many components.

And it only takes about an hour in total, with only 15 minutes of that being prep! The rest of the time is just waiting for this deliciousness to bake in the oven.

So, let's stop wasting time and get into this recipe!

Step 1: Prep work & Making The Batter

First things first, preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Next, you can make the pumpkin bread batter. To do this, take out a large bowl and add the egg, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, greek yogurt, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg to it.

Now, give all of these ingredients a good mix until everything combines and you have a smooth batter.

Then, you can add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl and give everything a mix with a rubber spatula until it's combined.

Step 3: Make the cream cheese filling

Once you have the pumpkin bread batter, you can make the cream cheese filling.

To do that, take out a separate bowl and add the egg, cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract to it. Then, mix these ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble The pumpkin cream cheese bread

Now it's time to bring the bread together!

First, scoop half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then, add all of the cream cheese filling on top of that, followed by the rest of the pumpkin bread batter.

To finish it off, mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl and then sprinkle it on top of the bread.

Step 5: Bake The pumpkin cream cheese bread

Once the bread is ready, you can bake it for about 45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

Then, take the pumpkin cream cheese bread out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy!

How To Store Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

This pumpkin cream cheese bread recipe will give you one hearty loaf of pumpkin bread, which is about 8 servings, depending on how thick you like your slices.

If your family is around when the bread is baking, the smell will draw everyone to the kitchen, and you might not have any bread left once it comes out of the oven.

But, if you do, this bread stores really well! You can put the bread slices in an airtight container - or bread box - and store them at room temperature for about 4 days.

However, if you want to keep it for longer, this pumpkin bread stores really well in the freezer. Just let the bread cool down completely and then transfer it to an airtight container and it'll stay good stored like this for up to 2 months!

How To Reheat Pumpkin Bread

I personally like eating this leftover pumpkin cream cheese bread at room temperature. But, if you want to warm it up, just put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds.

Now, with that said, if you're starting with the pumpkin bread frozen, let it thaw in the refrigerator - or at room temperature - and then you can microwave it after it's thawed.

Wrapping It Up

Well, that's how to make pumpkin cream cheese bread!

If you love homemade pumpkin bread, then you're going to love this one with a cream cheese filling.
