If fall had a flavor, it would taste just like this cheesecake pumpkin bread recipe. It’s moist, sweet, and perfectly spiced with pumpkin flavor, but what makes it extra special is the cheesecake pudding mix baked right into the batter. The pudding mix adds a rich creaminess and subtle cheesecake flavor that takes traditional pumpkin bread to the next level.

It’s perfect for a cozy family breakfast, a lunchbox treat, or a festive dessert table! Moms especially love it because it’s easy to whip together, but tastes like something straight from a bakery.

Ingredients for Cheesecake Pumpkin Bread

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious pumpkin bread:

• 1 box cheesecake pudding mix (3.4 oz)
• 1 ½ cups pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar or agave nectar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ¼ tsp salt

How to Make Cheesecake Pumpkin Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
3. Add the pudding mix. Stir in the cheesecake pudding mix until fully combined.
4. Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Make the batter. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
6. Bake. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and enjoy. Let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Tips and Variations

• Add a swirl of cream cheese filling for extra indulgence.
• Sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar before baking for a sweet crust.
• Bake in mini loaf pans for easy gifting during the holidays.
