Mini Pumpkin Bread Loaves

This recipe is soooo good and just in time for the fall season!  It comes from a Pampered Chef recipe for a pumpkin cake which I altered to make mini pumpkin bread loaves. 
Here are the ingredients:  2 1/2 cups flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt, 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup margarine (softened), 3 eggs, 3/4 cup can of pumpkin, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1-8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese (softened),
and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray mini loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in small bowl-set aside.  In mixer, combine sugar with butter.  Add in eggs, vanilla, milk, and pumpkin-mix well. 

Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir together well.  For the filling, combine cream cheese and sugar, whisking until smooth.  Pour some of pumpkin/ flour mixture into bottom of pan for each mini loaf to fill 1/3 of the way full.  Then, spread the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin/flour mixture for each loaf.  Top the mini loaves off by spreading the rest of the pumpkin/ flour mixture over the cream cheese mixture.  Bake for 45-50 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.    

The final result!  Top with some powdered sugar and serve warm!  Enjoy!
