Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup oil (canola, vegetable, coconut oil, or melted butter)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (or plain full-fat Greek yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 1 large egg
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, brown sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until just combined. Gently fold in the pumpkin pie spice, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until all ingredients are well-incorporated.
- Pour about two-thirds of the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, ensuring an even layer at the bottom.
- For the cream cheese filling, whisk together the cream cheese, egg, granulated sugar, and flour until smooth. Evenly spread this mixture over the batter in the loaf pan.
- Once the cream cheese layer is added, pour the remaining pumpkin batter on top. Use a spatula to gently spread it out and cover the cream cheese layer completely.
- Bake for approximately 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing it. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free texture.
- If your bread is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
- Don’t substitute pumpkin pie filling for pumpkin puree.
