This pumpkin cream cheese bread is the Fall recipe of your dreams! The classic warm and cozy spices in the pumpkin bread paired with the tanginess and sweetness of the cream cheese swirl pair perfectly to create a loaf that is truly special. There’s nothing more comforting than the fragrance of nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice wafting through your kitchen on a cold morning. The only thing that could elevate this pumpkin bread even further is if you paired it with a hot coffee and indulged while watching an episode of Gilmore Girls. You’ll feel like you’re dining right inside of Luke’s Cafe!!

This loaf looks super impressive, but is extremely easy to make! There’s hardly any skill involved. As long as you can scoop batter into a pan you’ll be just fine baking this up. There’s not even any swirling involved - as the bread bakes, the cream cheese will sink slightly, making the beautiful swirl in the center. It really is as simple as that…it can’t get any easier!!

Let the baking begin!
