While eating a pumpkin bread I made recently made with coconut flour, I was reminded of a delicious cream cheese filled pumpkin bread I made a few years back. I went through my recipe files and was able to find that old recipe.

Although the cream cheese filling was one of the things I liked best, the spice mixture of the bread was also just right. The spice blend was something that needed a bit more tweaking in the low carb coconut flour version.
