Delicious pumpkin recipes are very popular on the blog, and I also make them with a lot of pleasure, especially when the Thanksgiving season is around!

Or, my absolutely divine Pumpkin Cheesecake Pancakes, and if you are looking for something quick and easy, Pumpkin Fudge comes to the rescue.
Homemade Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese
Pumpkin Bread is one of the easiest pumpkin recipes you can make, it is packed with beautiful spices and has the most amazing texture. I have been making this bread for years but without the cream cheese filling. It has always been my go-to recipe, and I can tell you that it’s by far the most amazing Pumpkin Bread you can have.
It has such a tender and soft texture, that it basically melts in your mouth. Also, the bread is fluffy, yet rich, moist and with delicious notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
This year I decided to spice things up and added a cheesecake layer to it, and it was the best decision ever. In addition, the cheesecake pairs so well with the overall lighter bread. It takes it from a breakfast or brunch treat to a desert level. The smoothness and richness of the cheesecake make this fall dessert a must-try.
