Skinny Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Bread

Pinterest-inspired, can be found here. I used frozen fat free cream cheese that I thawed out, but it was a little water-y. I ended up making 1 loaf and 6 muffins. These are kind of dense, but definitely filling. They are pretty good considering how low they are!
