These Mini Pumpkin Cream Cheese Loaves are everything you want in a fall bake. It’s moist, warmly spiced, and has a rich cream cheese layer tucked inside each mini loaf.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease 4 mini loaf pans.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, then mix in vanilla and the egg. Stir in the pumpkin purée until combined.
Add the dry ingredients and water. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
In a clean bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, 1/2 a beaten egg, and vanilla until creamy.
Fill pans with 1/2 to 3/4 of the total pumpkin batter, add spoonfuls of cream cheese filling, then top with the remaining batter. Swirl with a chopstick or skewer.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from pans.
