The secret surprise inside\u2014a thick layer of cream cheese filling\u2014tastes like a slice of tangy, creamy New York cheesecake, making this pumpkin cream cheese bread ascend to holier-than-thou ranks.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not the only aspect we love about our recipe: Dates, walnuts and raisins dance throughout the pumpkin bread, and a from-scratch vanilla icing is poured right on top of the golden-baked loaves. Oh, and did we mention this recipe makes <em>three<\/em> loaves of pumpkin bread with cream cheese? Give two away or stash them in the freezer to eat another day.<\/p>\n<h2>Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> You can use granulated sugar, brown sugar or a mix of both sugars to sweeten this pumpkin cream cheese bread. I personally love using brown sugar in my fall baking for its deep, caramelly flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned pumpkin:<\/strong> Not all canned pumpkins are made the same. Some are more watery than others, while some have an off-metallic taste. That\u2019s why our Test Kitchen pros sought to find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-canned-pumpkin\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-canned-pumpkin\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best canned pumpkin<\/a> brands for fall baking. The findings may surprise you\u2014and, no, it\u2019s not the organic brands!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canola oil:<\/strong> We use canola oil instead of melted butter to keep the loaves softer for longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> This is the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-flour-and-when-to-use-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">type of flour<\/a> for quick breads. All-purpose flour is doctored with a mix of hard and soft wheat to lend strength and stability to the loaves while keeping a soft, tender, moist crumb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leaveners:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Test your baking powder and baking soda<\/a> to make sure they\u2019re still working at their best. The last thing you want is three flat loaves to emerge from the oven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spices:<\/strong> There is no shortage of fall spices in this pumpkin bread with cream cheese. Pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves make this recipe super cozy and flavorful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walnuts:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Toast the nuts<\/a> before adding them to the batter. Toasting takes away a walnut\u2019s raw edge and brings out its naturally rich, nutty flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dried fruit:<\/strong> Another sweet surprise we have in our loaves is the inclusion of raisins and dates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese filling:<\/strong> It&#8217;s the star of the show! You\u2019ll need two packets of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-cream-cheese\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-cream-cheese\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">softened cream cheese<\/a>, granulated sugar, 2% milk and one room-temperature egg to make the filling. Feel free to add a tiny bit of vanilla extract or vanilla paste for a subtle flavor boost.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toppings:<\/strong> While optional, we love drizzling a homemade vanilla icing on our cream cheese pumpkin bread and scattering extra walnuts on top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the pans<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

Make sure the loaves are completely cooled to room temperature before wrapping them up to freeze. You don&#8217;t want to trap any excess moisture from steam. When you\u2019re certain they&#8217;re cool, wrap the loaves in storage wrap (two layers doesn\u2019t hurt!) or store in resealable freezer bags. You can keep the loaves in the freezer for two months. When you\u2019re ready to eat, defrost them in the fridge until thawed.<\/p>\n<h2>Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2072249 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pumpkin-Cream-Cheese-Bread_TOHVP24_7501_MF_10_08_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Slices of raisin bread with icing and walnuts on top are laid out on a wooden board.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What if I don\u2019t have three 8&#215;4-inch pans? What other size pans can I use?<\/h3>\n<p>We get it, most people have only one 8&#215;4-inch loaf pan. To substitute <strong>one<\/strong> of the 8&#215;4-inch loaf pans, use two 5-3\/4&#215;3-inch mini loaf pans <em>or<\/em> one 9&#215;5-inch loaf pan. Keep in mind that the two mini pans will take a little less time to bake since they are smaller, and the 9&#215;5-inch loaf pan will create a thinner bread loaf.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I make sure the middle is done before the outside burns?<\/h3>\n<p>It can be tricky to tell when quick breads with fillings are ready to come out of the oven. For the best results, use a digital thermometer and take the loaf out between 200\u00b0 and 205\u00b0 degrees. Another trick is to cover the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 20 minutes of baking. This ensures the middle cooks while the top stays golden.<\/p>\n<h3>How should I serve pumpkin cream cheese bread?<\/h3>\n<p>One slice of this pumpkin bread with cream cheese is pretty spectacular all on its own, but you certainly can dress it up with extras.
