Preheat oven to 350°, prepare a 9x5x3 loaf pan by spraying with non-stick spray (I used coconut oil spray). Alternitively you can grease with butter.
Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl, whisk to combine.
In a blender combine all wet ingredients, and blend until smooth.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until well incorporated.
In a medium bowl combine softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and egg yolk. Beat using a hand mixer until creamy.
Pour half the batter into a prepared loaf pan, add cream cheese filling on top and gently swirl in smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Add the remaining batter on top of the cream cheese layer. Try not to disturb the cream cheese layer.
Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until the top is set and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, you are looking for dry crumbs on the toothpick or no crumbs at all.
