Cream Cheese Toffee Pumpkin Bread – Made with Coconut Oil

Cream Cheese Toffee Pumpkin Bread: A dessert bread made with coconut oil, giving it a hint of coconut and a delicious blend of mouthwatering flavors.

Can I just get a hallelujah for the genius who decided to add cream cheese to pumpkin bread? I first saw the Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread recipe on Eat Cake for Dinner, and I knew it had to happen in my kitchen.

…and you know I can’t leave well enough alone. I have to add my little spice to it, to experiment. So with this one, I replaced the vegetable oil with coconut oil. (And crossed my fingers hoping it would work the same.)  Then I replaced the chocolate chips with toffee bits, and added a bit more salt to the streusel. I. Love. Salt, on my sweets.

I’m super happy to say, that it turned out delicious! It even made so much, that I was able to deliver a whole loaf to our neighbors, and keep a whole loaf ourselves!

The streusel on top is kind of my favorite. There are times I’ll leave a streusel off of my recipes, just because I feel like it’s a whole other step that’s not really necessary. But with this one… I couldn’t believe how good it was. That’s where the extra salt came in to play for me, and I started eating a piece, anticipating when I reached the top, to get to the streusel.

I gotta say, when I delivered the bread to my neighbors, I put it in a super cute “take-out,” box that I bought here.
