On Halloween I thought it would be fun to have something “pumpkiny” for breakfast. While we are loving the pumpkin-pancakes, we’ve eaten them a lot lately so I needed to mix it up. Our local bagel shop was out of pumpkin bagels. Before we could feel too disappointed, a light bulb went off in my head. Pumpkin cream cheese! It was a simple recipe to whip up, and a big hit with everyone in the family. Enjoy!

Hi! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
Thank you for posting this! We got some Pumpkin Shmear at Einstein’s last week that was *oh*so*good*, and I’ve been looking for a recipe since. Thanks! 🙂
Two of the BeSt flavors on the planet mixed and then spread on the top of a BaGeL—does it get better:) I love food too too much!
This sounds delicious! I use Brummel & Brown strawberry spread on my morning bagel, but this would be so much better for the fall season. Thanks for sharing this! I’m definitely going to try it.
YUM! I thought it was probably pumpkin cream cheese. I can’t wait to make this!
This is suspiciously like my favorite pumpkin dip:
3/4 c. cream cheese
1/2 c. pumpkin
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
So good!
what do you dip in your pumpkin dip, amanda? maple syrup sounds like a nice addition…and your dip sounds very pumpkiny! 🙂 thanks for sharing the recipe!
mmmmmmmmm, yummma, yumma roo.
Wow, that is a gorgeous and delicious one.We’re always looking for new ways to enjoy tasting and cooking and this looks great! Thanks for sharing a good recipe. Good post, keep it up.
