I am so glad to be participating in this Thanksgiving Simple Dishes & Table Setting Blog Hop. This is a great way for you to prepare yourself for Thanksgiving. You will find some great recipes and ideas to set your table for your Thanksgiving feast.
I am sharing a simple and tasty Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread recipe. Â This is a great recipe to share with your family on the big day or save it for breakfast the day after. Â You can easily take this with you when you go shopping on Black Friday. Â Â
This recipe is a lighter version as I used applesauce and Stevia in this recipe. I liked the results of the lighter version. You can really taste the pumpkin flavor instead of being loaded with the butter and sugar taste.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 whole egg
- 3 egg whites
- 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Truvia Baking Blend Sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Truvia Baking Blend sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Batter: Beat the pumpkin, applesauce, egg, and egg whites on medium speed until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flours, Stevia, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Slowly mix the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture.
- Cream cheese filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until creamy and smooth.
- Grease and flour a bread loaf pan.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin mixture.
- Top with the remaining batter.
- Bake in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and remove from pans.
- Store in an airtight container.
The verdict from the boys was it needed more sugar, but they liked it and they ate it so I am thinking it was pretty darn good.
