I need this in my life….YUMMY!!!
Cream cheese AND pumpkin? Sounds amazing!!
Oh you had me at cream cheese! Thanks for sharing! Also wanted to let you know about a new linky party starting this Saturday at 8pm called “Found & Foraged” Can’t wait to party with you at http://www.houseofhipsters.com
Made this for our Sunday School Class. It was a HIT! YUMMY!
So glad you and your class loved it! Thanks for trying it!
I made this for a work party today and it was a hit! It came out so moist and everyone asked me for the recipe. I will be making this again :)
I’m so glad it was a hit! Pumpkin bread is my favorite. :)
Hi – I was wondering if these would be freezeable. I make a lot of breads for Christmas gifts.
Just curious, what size are the pans? Large and small is a little non specific. The bread looks yummy! Can’t wait to try it.
The large pan is 9×5, the smaller (mini) pan is 5 3/4×3. :)
I was wondering does this pumpkin bead have to r need to b kelp in the frig. ????
If you had a lot of leftovers, I would put it in the fridge at night and during the day if you’re not snacking on it. :)
Hello! Please…help me! Can you tell me the ingredients in italian measures?thanks *.*
Hi Rachele! This website looks like it would be helpful for you to convert our measurements to what would help you. :)
Thank you =)…but I don’t understand how many pumpkin puree I need… 1 15 oz are one hundred fefteen oz or one and fefteen oz? And what does it mean “oz can”? I’m so sorry… but it’s the first time that I’m using a english recipe…. thanks thanks thanks
HELLO, CANYOUMAKE THIS ALSOWHITH FRESCH PUMPKIN.I, AM FROM HOLLAND, CANT FIND TIN PUMPKIN,
THANKYOU.
Hi Anny! Yes! If you pre-bake the pumpkin, let it cool, and shred the flesh. Freshly baked pumpkin is delicious, but might be a little more dry than our canned pumpkin. Happy baking! :)
I LOVE that bread pan and was wondering where you got it?
Hi Staci! We believe we packed that up a World Market over a year ago – it was a great find, but without any additional markings on it. That store is great for the rare find! :)
Is it okay to add walnuts to the bread batter?
Hi Evelyn! I haven’t tried adding walnuts but think it would be amazing! Great idea. :)
Love, love, love this bread. I made a few tweaks, used Regular and brown Truvia instead of the sugars and white whole wheat four, along with Greek cream cheese. I also added an egg because the Greek cream cheese is thicker than regular. Tastes like pumpkin pie filling with cheesecake. This is definitely going into my keep collection of recipes.
Rachele –
It means one 15 ounce can (oz is how we abbreviate ounce).
Hello –
I am making this bread tomorrow and wanted to make sure an egg is not needed for the filling? I was wondering if it would be too melted?
Correct! No egg in the cream cheese layer! :)
This cream cheese filled pumpkin bread looks just like something that I would love. It jumped off of the page at me. It is one of those things that I really wanted a piece right now. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
sounds so yummy i am going to make it for our thanksgiving desert hope i can do it right i have bake many things so we will see
Hope you enjoy! :)
I am so ready for fall and everything pumpkin!! I’m sure my kids will love this especially with mini chocolate chips sprinkled in!
I am so ready for all the pumpkin! I love this recipe!! Comes out great every time!
Me too! Fall recipes are my favorite. I’m so glad you love this recipe!
Mmm. Pumpkin bread is my favorite fall treat!
Oh my goodness!! This looks incredible!! I can’t wait to try it!
I see this bread ALL THE TIME on FB and Pinterest and I can’t WAIT to try it!
What temp does the stove need to be at? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
350 degrees!
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! :)
I’ve had this before . It’s delicious . Glad I found the recipe.
Such a great fall recipe! Hope you enjoy! :)
Where do you put the brown sugar?
Add it in with the eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla! :)
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.
