The Best Ever Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling

Uncategorized

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A few years ago as I started to grow pumpkin in The Harvey Garden I had to find recipes and things to do with them. 

I used to make banana bread all the time in the summer so I figured I’d make a twist on that recipe and instead of bananas I would use pumpkin. 

It took a while for me to craft the perfect recipe. And it was a lot of side eyes from people- “pumpkin bread?!” 

And I would say “just try it.” One bite and they would be convinced. 

Pumpkin bread in and of itself is actually very tasty. Suprisingly very tasty. When I made it in the past, I made it but just ate cream cheese almost like a spread. But I wanted to try it with a cream cheese filling. It tastes even better.

In fairness, this is a pretty intense recipe with all of the extra steps. But the final taste is totally worth it.

Check out the recipe below!
