Pumpkin Swirl Bread Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Nov. 18, 2012
I made the recipe by the letter and was disappointed in the result. I expected a creamy filling in the center, like when you bite into a Twinkie. This was not the case. The cream cheese filling had a very distinct "egg" taste to it which I do not like. The second time I made it, I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and I did not mix an egg with the cream cheese and sugar. The bread was less sweet and the cream filling was baked through but did not have the "eggy" taste. I would rate this 3-1/2 stars; it's "good" but not "great".

This is really good! I made the cream cheese mixture and the pumpkin mixture according to the recipe. However, I made them into muffins/cupcakes. I lined the muffin pans with liners then put a tbsp of pumpkin in the bottom of each liner. Then took the cream cheese mixture and put a tbsp of each then topped with a teaspoon of pumpkin mixture. I swirled it with a knife and baked at 350 for 22 minutes like another reviewer suggested. They came out perfectly done and SO MOIST!! There's only a hint of cream cheese flavor but it's delicious! There was a little bit of the cream cheese mixture left over. I got 17 muffins. Try it like this and you will not be disappointed!!

This was very tasty. I would probably give the taste 5 stars but the method of swirling seemed a little off. I'd probably reserve more than 2 cups of pumpkin mixture next time for the top. Or do it in layers. Otherwise the cream cheese mixture is too concentrated and difficult to swirl. Very yummy though!

The first time I made this I thought the cream cheese mixture was a little too runny and didn't hold up the top layer. The second time I used a smaller egg and it was perfect. Delicious!

I made this for my co-workers and they couldn't get enough. I added a little more pumpkin which made it very moist!

After reading the reviews for this recipe, I decided that I would follow the recipe with these adjustments only because they were the flaws constantly mentioned in the reviews. I doubled the cream cheese recipe. Also I ommitted the two spice ingredients listed and just replaced that amount with pumpkin pie spice and cooked the recipe for exactly 70 min. but I used two foil 8inch by 3 7/8 inch pans. The bread was absolutely perfectand needs no tweaking after these adjustments! If anyone knows Whole Foods pumpkin cream cheese swirl muffins, this bread taste just like it after these adjustments. One word...YUUUUMMMMMMMY!

This bread is our newest family fav. I did make a couple alterations though...I added 1/8 cup flour to the cream cheese mix because it seemed to liquidy...I used a whole can (15 oz) pumpkin and 2 cups flour, and added 1/2 tsp each ground cloves and ginger for extra spice. I used a piping bag for the cream cheese mixture, piped a little in the bottom of the muffin cup, halfway through the muffin, and topped with a little more for decoration. This made 2 dozen regular size muffins and they go sooooo quick.

This was AWFUL!!!! The cheese mixture tasted way too "eggy" and the bread was too wet and heavy. Annoyed that I doubled the recipe thinking it would be delish!

Cooking up a storm for Christmas ~ Made this bread for the freezer, so only tried a small amount that had broken from the side but it was delicious. I baked in one of those cardboard bundt pans from sur la table, for a total of 60 minutes. I did double the quantity of spices. Great easy recipe.
