This is a very easy & delicious bread to make! I forgot to add the oil and it was still delicious. I recommend putting the cream cheese down the center of the batter, leaving a border of pumpkin batter around it. I spread my cream cheese over the whole batter layer and after it was done, it split in 2 halves. I just stuck it back together & it stayed together ok...the cream cheese is sticky so was able to hold it together. The pumpkin flavor is not very strong, so I'll add more pumpkin pie spice the next time I make it... will definitely make again! Delicious!!!

I just made this recipe for the first time and it was really easy to make. But, I was using a new stove to bake for the 1st time and maybe I didn't add enough batter to the bottom before adding the creamcheese because all of the creamcheese fell out when I went to turn the loaf over after removing it from the pan and it didn't cook all the way through completely. I added some vanilla to the creamcheese mixture as someone had suggested, but I didn't care for the taste of creamcheese part. I really liked the pumpkin bread part though. Maybe next time if I make it I won't put in the creamcheese and I'll add raisins.

I made this recipe last night to bring to a retirement party today at work. There was this recipe and zucchini bread - the pumpkin bread was gone and everybody loved it. Great recipe.
