This Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread is soooo good! Loaded with a spiced pumpkin flavor, raisins and pecans.
Today is Secret Recipe Club reveal day! This month I was assigned to Julie's blog called Little Bit of Everything from the Good Life. In looking through her recipes,
I couldn't decide between her sweet or savory ones but with pumpkin season coming soon, this Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread was calling my name. I'm in the mood for a taste of fall and this hit the spot!
I followed the recipe exactly but instead of using 2 medium loaf pans, I used 3 small ones and made the rest of the batter into muffins. (BTW the muffins were delicious too!)
The recipe below is for the 2 medium pans. I also decided to jazz them up a bit with a drizzle of cream cheese frosting - it complimented the bread perfectly.
I liked how easy this was to make and I always seem to have a can of pumpkin in my pantry (Note to self - buy more pumpkin!) I think this would go perfectly with tea or coffee and since it makes more than one loaf, you can share and still have some for yourself!
As usual, the DIY Guy brought some to work and I heard it was gone in a flash - maybe for them I should have made a bigger loaf!
As I mentioned Julie has some other really great recipes - I will be trying a couple of them including Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup and Peach Caprese Salad (I love anything caprese).
