Ingredients 

Cheesecake Filling

  • 226 g cream cheese room temperature (1 c.)
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 2 tbsp. all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Pumpkin Bread

  • 100 g vegetable oil (½ c.)
  • 200 g granulated sugar (1 c.)
  • 300 g pure pumpkin puree (1 ⅓ c.)
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 55 g whole milk room temperature (¼ c.)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 240 g all purpose flour (2 c.)
  • 2 ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt

Instructions 

Cheesecake Filling

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Butter and line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper, to make a hammock for the loaf.
  • In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar until it's smooth. Then, beat in the egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Fold the flour into the mixture, then set it aside.

Pumpkin Bread

  • To a large mixing bowl, add in the oil, sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
  • Add in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Carefully mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no flour streaks remain.
  • Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan. Then, carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the pumpkin batter, and smooth it out into an even layer.
  • Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife to swirl the batter a couple of times.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick/knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Allow the loaf to fully come to room temperature before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
