Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare Pan:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Pumpkin Bread Batter:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined (do not overmix).

3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:

4. Assemble the Bread:

  • Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top.
  • Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the cream cheese layer.

5. Bake:

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Slice & Enjoy!

  • Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.


Notes

Extra Moist Tip: Use applesauce instead of half the oil for a lighter version.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Topping Idea: Add a streusel crumble on top for extra crunch!
