Ingredients

Here’s what you need to create this delicious Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze:

• For the Bread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
3. Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugars, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix them together until smooth.
4. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can lead to a dense bread.
5. Create the cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix together a bit more sugar, cinnamon, and some melted butter (optional), and prepare to swirl it into the batter later.
6. Layer and swirl: Pour half of the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, and swirl with a knife to create stripes.
7. Bake: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Prepare the glaze: While the bread is cooling, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
9. Glaze and serve: Once the bread is cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze on top and slice to serve.
