Humbleness is a great gift, and ordinarily I never think I make the best of anything, it is the best I know how to make but not necessarily the best. However, let me do say I do believe I make the best pumpkin bread. My grand daughter also thinks it is the best, she says I try others but yours is always so moist and so tender and so much flavor... No I didn't pay her and you can never shut a 15 year old up and they always think everyone else does it better.

How To Make pumpkin bread with maple cream cheese

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two loaf pans or a bundt pan by lightly oiling it and lightly flouring it. Altho I must admit last night I did not use flour at all. But I do have the original heavy duty Bundt pan.
  • 2
    Mix flour, salt, baking soda and all spices. Remove 1/2 cup and set both aside.
  • 3
    Cream eggs with sugar until light and lemon colored, 3-5 minutes. Add pumpkin and mix well.
  • 4
    Add the larger amount of flour and blend well.
  • 5
    Mix water with butter and add to the batter slowly while mixing.
  • 6
    Sprinkle the remaining flour over nuts and stir. Then stir into batter by hand so as not to break up nuts.
  • 7
    Pour into prepared loaf pans or Bundt pan. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until done.
  • 8
    For Maple Cream Cheese, mix all ingredients well. Beat till creamy.
  • 9
    Notes: I do not use nuts but you could also use pepitos if desired. Also if you do not like a certain spice you can always change it to more of your favorite or try something totally new like Cardamom.I have also taken sugar and added a few drops of maple flavor and mixed it thorougly to make a maple sugar and sprinkled it in the pan before adding the batter to the pan instead of flour.
