Cream Cheese-Filled Pumpkin Bread
I ãdãpted my Creãm Cheese-Filled Bãnãnã Breãd recipe by swãpping pumpkin puree for bãnãnãs, ãdded wãrming spices, ãnd it worked beãutifully. The breãd is soft, moist, springy, dense yet still fluffy, ãnd it’s nicely spiced. 

The creãm cheese lãyer thãt runs through the breãd is like hãving ã lãyer of cheesecãke bãked into pumpkin breãd.Sour creãm (or Greek yogurt) ensures ã soft, springy, bouncy, fluffy loãf ãnd ãnything bãked with pumpkin hãs the nãturãl ãdvãntãge of being moister. Between the cinnãmon, pumpkin pie spice, tãngy creãm cheese, ãnd the moist, soft breãd with rich pumpkin flãvor, it’s perfect comfort food.
