Fall is the perfect season to bake and I love anything that has pumpkin and spices in it. The house smells so good with the aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg and more. My husband loves a good bread recipe. He has it for breakfast or an afternoon snack with a steaming hot cup of coffee and this Pumpkin Cheese Cake Swirl Bread is no exception!
This is perfect to slice and put in lunch boxes too. The kids love having a homemade treat for their lunches or snack. I have a bunch of other pumpkin recipes or even apple recipes that you can try as well.
