Mini Cream Cheese Loafs with Triple Berry Swirl
Mini Cream Cheese Loafs are a great treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be an excellent gift for friends and family. This recipe has 8 simple ingredients: pumpkin, eggs, milk, oil, and flour. To begin, stir together the dry ingredients. Mix in the wet ingredients until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Fill the pan 3/4 full. To top with a cream cheese swirl, beat the cream cheese and butter on high for 1 minute.

- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt

- Using your stand or hand mixer, cream the cream cheese, butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, until mixture is creamy and smooth.

Notes
This loaf is fantastic. The cream cheese and cup of ripe bananas make the bread so moist. The Triple Berry jam was a great addition to the bread, thanks again Steph!! Feel free to use any flavor jam though when making this bread.
