I’ve been pinning lovely Fall ideas and recipes on my Pinterest board “Fabulous Fall” since LAST Fall! And this year I decided that I was actually going to try some of these new-to-me recipes! So here’s one I tried this past weekend…originally nabbed from Pinterest via Faith at An Edible Mosaic!
Pumpkin & Cheese Spice Bread
For the Cheese Batter:
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Pumpkin Spice Batter:
3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
2 large eggs
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cloves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; lightly grease 3 mini loaf pans with butter (mini loaf pans were 5 3/4 inches long X 3 inches wide X 2 inches deep)
For the cheese batter, use a handheld electric mixer to beat together all ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy (I don’t think my cream cheese was exactly room temperature, can you tell?)
For the pumpkin spice batter, whisk together brown sugar and eggs in a medium bowl until light and fluffy…
then stir in the pumpkin, oil and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt,cinnamon nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet, being careful not to over-mix.
Divide the pumpkin batter between the 3 loaf pans…
…then pour the cheese batter on top.
Bake until golden around the edges, about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean or with just a couple crumbs.
Cool 10 minutes in the pans…
…then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. (Or simply serve from the pan like I did, if you are planning on taking them to an event!)
Whatcha think?
Of course, it’s not gluten-free, so I wasn’t able to eat it, but all of my testers raved about it!
Give it a try and see what you think! It’s the perfect Fall recipe!

Oh yeah! This looks delish!
Hope you try and enjoy! 🙂
Pumpkin AND cheese? I don’t think I’ve ever tried those two things together, but now I think I have to.
Well, it’s more of a cheesecake-type topping. (I know, I questioned the cheese part at first, too!)
Oh now, this looks sublime, I was baking three cheese bread this morning so I guess I will be trying this one out tomorrow. Delicious !
Ooo, three cheese bread, that sounds good, too!
This looks awesome, great pics btw. Pumpkin – one of the many reasons I love fall.
Thanks, Michelle! (Fall is my fave 🙂 )
Thanks look delicious! I might have to try it but with tapioca flour to see if I can get this gluten free for my diet.
Oh sure! I’ve found that pumpkin works great with tapioca flour! (I’m gluten-free, as well!)
OMGoodness this looks super delicious! I want to make and eat that right now! Pumpkin and cheese, sounds too good to be true! 🙂
🙂 Hope you enjoy!
Oh wow this looks delicious! Perfect for the time of year as well though I have to admit I wouldn’t have thought of mixing pumpkin and cheese.
Well, it’s kind of a cheesecake-like cheese. But still good!
I make a pumpkin roll that everyone loves that seems like is on the same order as this. This looks much easier though. I am going to try this for Thanksgiving.
I make a pumpkin roll, too…but it’s much harder than this bread, that’s for sure!
Looks delicious, will have to try when we have a house full of grandchildren.
🙂
WOW, this looks yummy! Thanks for the great recipe and tutorial. I love the photo with the reflection in your new blue Kitchen Aid!
Pinned, Tweeted, and Stumbled. 🙂

LOL I was wondering if anyone would notice that 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness! I was hungry before reading this post and now I am starving. I want to whip up a batch of this now!
Sorry to add to your hunger woes!
Delicious!!! Will definitely have to try this recipe 🙂
Please do! Enjoy!
That looks scrumptious! My husband would love this!
Mine did!
Wish I had a way for this to magically appear in front of me! Yum!
HA! That would be too easy 🙂
It looks so good! You take much better food pictures than me. 🙂 That is what your next post should be about… how to take good food pictures.
Oh, thank you! Hmmm…good food pictures…I would really recommend an external flash for your camera. You’d be amazed at the difference it makes!
Oh, see I need to get a whole new camera. I just have a little cannon right now, the kind that can’t attach a flash. Maybe I should ask for a new camera for Christmas. 🙂
That sounds like the perfect request! 🙂
I think I tried to make something like this last year and it was good….but this looks waaaaaay better! I will be making this soon! Thank you for the inspiration! I will pin this!
Thanks, Carli! Hope you enjoy!
This is totally for me! It sounds so wonderfully Fall and fabulous!
It was both! 🙂
Oh yummy… I’ve never seen pumpkin bread with cheese on top. That looks so good. I’m definitely going to give this one a try. I love your pictures, especially the one with your blue kitchen aid and it reflecting the bowl; very cool. That is love to make bread for people that you can’t eat!
Well, it’s a cheesecake-like topping. And thanks for the pics kudos! I was wondering if anyone would reference the mixer LOL
Hi, i love the cracked loaf of bread. It is tempting.
Yes indeed! Thanks, Adelien!
Anything with that much cream cheese on top has to be delicious! I bet your house smelled great, too.
Oh, it sure did! No air freshener or candle rivals the smell of fresh-baked bread…any flavor!
I agree with Bonnie, I probably would have tried to eat the furniture in your house. I’m not a fan of pumpkin foods unless they taste like sweet potato or nothing like pumpkin. I’m not sure if that made any sense…LOL! Basically, I like the smell of pumpkin stuff but not eat it. Beyond bonkers, I know.
That DOES make sense 🙂 I’ll have to try something sweet potato next, maybe!
