Pumpkin Bread... Part 2

Well I have to be completely honest... my pumpkin bread was not all I thought it would be :/ It was good- just not amazing. But, I think I know where I went wrong. So if you plan to try out the recipe... take note of these changes I will make next time... first, don't put the whole can of pumpkin ;) actually follow the recipe on this part. I know, I never would have thought pumpkin bread could be too pumpkiny, but it was. Second, Go ahead and add some pumpkin pie spice. The original recipe calls for this, but of course I didn't have any. So I thought I'd just leave it out. Mistake. It definitely is missing that spiciness that the cloves, nutmeg, ginger, etc. in pumpkin pie spice would have added. I think the recipe could use two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Third, don't omit the brown sugar. Again, I didn't have any so I just left it out. It needs that extra sugar and I think the brown sugar would be the perfect addition. And fourth, go ahead and mix a whole egg with the cream cheese. My cheese mixture has an odd texture. I think the egg yolk would make it creamier which=a good thing! So there you go... I think if you follow these tips, this really could be so yummy! I'm definitely going to try this recipe again.... and actually follow the recipe this time ;) And while I'm on the subject of yummy pumpkiness... take a look at these little yummies...
