Ingreadient

• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup melted coconut oil (or olive oil)
• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or Paleo flour, see note)
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ¾ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 4 ounces softened cream cheese
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 large egg yolk

Step by step

1. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a bread pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs, melted coconut oil, pumpkin purée, and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Then, sift in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, sea salt, coconut sugar, and baking soda. Mix until combined.
4. Then, make the cream cheese filling. Add the softened cream cheese, sugar, and egg yolk to a different mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer or stand mixer to beat until completely smooth.
5. Pour ¾ of the pumpkin bread batter into the parchment lined bread pan.
6. Next, spread the filling mixture on top. Smooth into an even layer.
7. Top with the remaining pumpkin bread batter. Smooth into an even layer.
8. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. The toothpick will have some of the creamy filling on it.
9. Finally, remove the pumpkin cream cheese bread from the oven.
10. Allow the bread to fully cool before slicing into.
