I express my love and appreciation through food, yes… I am one of those people. It must have been something that I picked up as a child from my Grandmother and have carried it with me ever since. She was an amazing cook who always seemed to know exactly what your favorite item was, and have it ready for you when you arrived to her home. We were spoiled as kids with home cooked meals made from scratch that usually also included an amazing cobbler she had just whipped up for dessert. I think that taking the time to make an item for someone is a great way to show your gratitude for them and I am trying to carry on these traditions with my children and loved ones.
This is one of my favorite recipes that she use to make for me and I think it is a great item to make as a gift; it’s easy, delicious and the perfect size. We have some really amazing neighbors down the road, and I try to drop a few loaves of this pumpkin bread on their doorsteps as a thank you whenever I can.
I might be a bit bias though as this is also my personal favorite, actually...I might be a bit obsessed with pumpkin. I know what you are thinking… pumpkin? It’s March… and pumpkin baked goods are for the fall season, but seriously, who decided this? Pumpkin is amazing, and should be enjoyed ALL YEAR ROUND So, be a rule breaker with me and whip up some pumpkin bread, you won’t regret it!
Pumpkin Bread W/Cheesecake Filling
1 2/3 Cup Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
½ tsp salt
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Cloves
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Nutmeg
2 Eggs
2 Cups Pumpkin
½ Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
1 ½ cup Sugar
Cheesecake Filling
8oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
½ Cup Sugar
1 Tbsp Flour
1 Egg
½ tsp Vanilla Extract
The Pumpkin Bread Batter
First we will just simply combine the Flour, Baking Soda, Salt, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, and Nutmeg in a medium size bowl.
Then in a separate bowl combine the Pumpkin, Melted Coconut Oil, and Sugar
Add in 2 eggs one at a time and stir just until it comes together.
The Cheesecake Filling
Place your Cream Cheese, Sugar, Flour, Egg, and Vanilla into a small bowl and whip till combined. Now, if we were making a frosting we would want to really whip this to get all those lumps out, but since we are baking this mixture they will work themselves out in the oven. So, you don’t have to get your electric mixture out for this one.
Putting It Together
I like to use the mini loaf pans for this bread because they are great for gifts and also find that the Pumpkin Bread comes out more moist and delicious. Just simply fill each mini loaf pan halfway with the Pumpkin Bread batter, put a generous helping of the Cheesecake Filling down the center and then put one more spoon full of the batter on top, smoothing gently with a spoon. Give each pan a nice tap on the counter to remove any air bubbles and place in your oven preheated to 325 degrees, bake for 30 – 45 minutes or until center is just firm.
Remove from oven and try to let cool before devouring it all... enjoy!

'Something that I picked up as a child from my Grandmother and have carried it with me ever since' This sentence struck a chord with me. My wife is 78 and a grandmother three times over as well as being a superb cook. She taught our son and daughters her cookery secrets and they are passing those secrets on to their children. A couple of days ago we visited our daughter, and Hannah, our grand daughter, had made some lovely scones for us just like my wife does for me. This Pumpkin won largest in show at the Yorkshire Autumn Show 2017
This comment just made my day, thank you. Grandma's are the best gift ❤
