Instructions

Pumpkin Bread Batter Directions
- With an electric mixer, beat the pumpkin, applesauce, egg, and egg whites on medium speed until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the dry cake mix, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Slowly mix the dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture.
Cream Cheese Filling Directions

How to prepare for the oven
- Lightly grease two 9-inch loaf pans. Divide half of the cake batter between the two pans. Pour half of the cream filling in one pan and the other half in the second pan and smooth with the back of a spoon.
- Using a knife, swirl the filling around the pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes. Don’t over-bake or your bread will be dry on the edges. Cool and remove from pans. Cut each loaf into 8 slices. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
