YUM! Enjoy this pumpkin cream cheese bread with a big glass of milk!
Fantastic! Made one adjustment. Put film in loaf pan, put cream cheese mixture in and spread it out. Put in freezer for around 15 minutes. When it comes time to spread it in between layers of pumpkin mix just popped it out, peal film off and lay on top of first layer of pumpkin. Don’t have to try spreading while it on pumkin
Great tip, thanks for sharing!
This is a great tasting recipe. Easy to do. BUT I made it 3 times in a row, each one just not turning out right! Even with greasing AND flouring the bread pans, they still wanted to stick. On top of that, I had to cook nearly 20 minutes longer to solidify the middle. Great flavor! Just have to baby it.
Where do you put the brown sugar?
Add it in with the eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla! :)
I’ve had this before . It’s delicious . Glad I found the recipe.
Such a great fall recipe! Hope you enjoy! :)
Can applesauce be substituted for the oil?
Since there is 3/4 cup of oil, it might change the texture a bit, but I think it would work! :)
What temp does the stove need to be at? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
350 degrees!
I see this bread ALL THE TIME on FB and Pinterest and I can’t WAIT to try it!
Oh my goodness!! This looks incredible!! I can’t wait to try it!
Mmm. Pumpkin bread is my favorite fall treat!
