How to Make Easy Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese

• Gather all your ingredients, ensuring your pumpkin puree and eggs are ready.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a loaf pan with vegetable oil or baking spray.
• Whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a medium bowl.
• Beat together pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and sugar in a large bowl.
• Combine the dry mixture with wet ingredients until blended; do not overmix.
• Prepare the cream cheese filling by beating cream cheese, sugar, egg, and flour until smooth.
• Pour 1½ cups of pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
• Spread cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin batter, then add remaining pumpkin batter on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 85 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
• Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
