Week 9 Christmas Treats: Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

I will admit of not being a fan of the Pumpkin Spice Latte but I do love things with Pumpkin Pie flavors. Pumpkin bread is one of my favorites. Add a layer of sweet cream cheese filling and some mini chocolate chips and this is a delicious breakfast bread. This recipe makes two large loaves so you can keep one and share one!

Verdict:

This is one bread that my family loves for breakfast. We slice the loaves into about 8 slices and freeze them in baggies so that they can be popped into the microwave on a busy morning to warm. Delicious!
