Ingredients:

For the Pumpkin Bread:

1 cup pumpkin purée 🎃

2 large eggs 🥚

1/2 cup vegetable oil 🛢️

1 cup granulated sugar 🧂

1/4 cup light brown sugar 🍯

1/4 cup milk 🥛

1 tbsp vanilla extract 🍨

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 🌾

1 tsp baking powder 🧁

1/2 tsp baking soda 🍶

1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice 🍂

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 🌿

1/4 tsp salt 🧂

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀

1 large egg 🥚

1/2 cup granulated sugar 🧂

3 tbsp all-purpose flour 🌾

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 🔥 and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla until well combined 🍯.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt 🌿.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, egg, granulated sugar, and flour until smooth and creamy 🧀.

Pour half of the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter 🍞.

Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the cream cheese layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean 🕒.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing 🍽️.
