We love the taste of pumpkin in our house, and I bake with it all year long, these quick breads are just so moist and delicious, and with the addition of the cream cheese filling.....well, it just can't get any better! Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar |

1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon clove |
1/4 teaspoon ginger |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 cup pumpkin puree |
1/2 cup oil (not olive oil) |
2 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) |

4. In another bowl, sift 1-2/3 cup flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg; set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, oil, 2 eggs and 1-1/2 cups sugar, beat well.
6. Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture just until combined.
