Who’s ready for another Pumpkin Recipe?!? 🙂
Fall is a little over a week away right now, so this recipe is fitting for the season..
but if you know me, pumpkin recipes are something I enjoy year round!
There is nothing like the sweet smell of Pumpkin wafting through the air on a cool Fall evening & most likely, that smell is coming right from my kitchen! 😉
Yes, I know, my ‘famous’ easy clean up pans..again lol
Such a pretty loaf if I do say so myself!
I did a light streusel topping just to give it that extra deliciousness!
Love the sweet cream cheese peeking through the top..MMM!
Slice open this beauty to reveal that delicious cream cheese and moist pumpkin bread!
Ahh.. its like having cheesecake swirled throughout.. LOVE IT.
