Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus 2 ½ tbsp.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar divided
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a loaf pan with parchment.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 cup all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, 1 large egg, and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture, mixing until combined.
- Add ⅔ of the batter to your loaf pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 2 ½ tbsp. all purpose flour, large egg, and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
- Add this on top of the batter you added to the loaf pan, carefully smoothing out into an even layer.
- Add the remaining pumpkin batter over top of the cream cheese layer, making sure to cover the cream cheese completely.
- Bake for 45- 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without any wet batter. TIP: If needed, you can loosely cover the bread with foil for the last 15 minutes to avoid the top browning too much.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and enjoying!
Notes
Tips:
- Don’t over-mix- keeps the loaf soft and tender.
- Room temp cream cheese- ensures a smooth swirl.
- Cool fully before slicing- for clean cuts and best texture.
- Tent with foil if browning too quickly- prevents over-baked top.
- Add-In's- Try chocolate chips, chopped pecans, or dried cranberries for fun variations into pumpkin batter.
