Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Bread:

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk as needed for consistency

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.

Make the Batter

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.

Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl

  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.

Layer the Batter and Swirl

  • Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top and gently swirl with a knife. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl.

Bake the Bread

  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Cream Cheese Glaze

  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until glaze reaches desired drizzling consistency.

Glaze and Serve

  • Once the bread is fully cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Slice and serve.
