Double-Decker Pumpkin Bread
Yep.
I went there.
What is up with all the early pumpkin recipes? I assume it is simply because I didn’t get to bake much with it last year. And when I did finally find some to hoard, I held it dear to my heart in fear that I would never get to buy pumpkin again.
Well, this is the last of the pumpkin recipes for awhile. A few weeks ago I opened a giant can and made some breakfast cakes and muffins, along with this bread. So no more pumpkin recipes.
At least not until next week. Then I’ll probably have 3-5 more. I can’t help myself.
So, what exactly is that inside the pumpkin bread?
That is a cinnamon-spiced cream cheese blend.
Yes. This pumpkin bread is stuffed with sweet autumn-flavored cream cheese. Stuffed I tell ya!
And I made mini loaves, but of course you can make one giant loaf. Because you know I made the mini loaves since eating 3 small loaves in one sitting is so much healthier than eating one large loaf. You know, just trying to be portion conscious.
Double Decker Pumpkin Bread
makes 3 mini loaves
recipe inspired from BHG, bread recipe from Martha Stewart
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350. Mix pumpkin and sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, oil and vanilla and continue to mix.
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk to pumpkin mix – beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Pour into mini loaf pans, just halfway to the top. Spread about 1/8 cup cream cheese mixture over first layer, then cover with more pumpkin batter, leaving about 1/2 an inch to the top. For mini loaves, bake 35-40 minutes.
Note: As I typed in this recipe, I realized that I completely LEFT OUT the buttermilk! I totally overlooked it. No clue how that happened. However, as you can see the bread still came out (the batter was thicker than I remembered, now I know why) but the middle did sink a bit. I made these way back when, not forgetting the buttermilk, and they came out great. These ones still came out fantastic and delicious.
Cream Cheese Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix ingredients together until well blended (you can use an electric mixer, but I mixed by hand).
There is a reason that I need to slow down with the pumpkin baking. Mr. How Sweet is no pumpkin fan. That leaves me, myself and… oh yeah, me to eat it.
I can hear the buttons popping off my pants now.

I’ve been dying to make these pumpkin cream cheese muffins, but these look delectable!
Massively depressed right now…as not a SINGLE store has any pumpkin products. There’s a shortage here. Is it wrong to lick my screen?
Hey – you gotta do what you gotta do! ;)
I. Have. No. Words.
I usually break cookies in to small pieces because everyone knows that they don’t have calories if you eat them in small bites! Duh! Also, cake doesn’t have calories if you eat slivers instead of slices.
This looks DIVINE. Pumpkin is so yummy…totally understand the hype. It’s the only thing that makes summer ending OK.
Oh my wow. This looks absolutely fabulous. Every time I read your blog I drool on my laptop.
Yumm reminds me of a pumpkin roll with the cream cheese in there!!

Pumpkin recipes have definitely come early this year, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I *finally* tracked down pumpkin at the grocery store and grabbed about 10 cans, haha. I’m planning on making pumpkin bread tomorrow, in fact!
Pumpkin bread and cream cheese is my all time favorite combination. I love this recipe!
Oh my word…I want a piece of this in my hand (and my mouth) so badly right now. I can think of nothing more perfect for a sunday morning.

What size is your mini loaf pan? The only pan I have is a regular sized one, it fits 2lbs of ground beef in it for a meatloaf. I would rather make mini loaves, but don’t know what to purchase.
I used a 2 1/2 by 4 inch load pan. But I’m pretty sure the recipe I used can be made into one regular sized loaf!
This sounds SO yummy!! Thanks for sharing, definitely have it on my recipe list :)
Also, just letting you know I featured your bread on my blog last night, feel free to come check it out!

Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really
make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Thanks
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who has been doing a little homework on this.
And he actually ordered me dinner because I discovered it for
him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!
! But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this topic here on
your website.
