1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 bread pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. add the eggs, puree, and vanilla whisking until well combined.

3. combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Sift into the wet ingredients and add a little bit at a time, whisking until fully incorporated.

4. Pour half the batter into the prepared bread pan. transfer the softened cream cheese to a zip lock back and cut a small opening in one of the bottom corners. Squeeze out half the cream cheese across the pumpkin batter into a swirled pattern. Cover with the remaining batter and swirl the rest of the cream cheese across the top. Gently press the cream cheese swirl into the batter and spread some of the pumpkin batter overtop the cream cheese using the back of a spoon to cover just a bit to create a pattern. It doesn't need to be perfect or look pretty at this point, the oven will take care of that. Sprinkle some brown sugar over the top and more pumpkin pie spice mix.

5. Bake for 45-50 mins until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes.

6. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
