Dry Ingredients
- 1 package (3.4 oz) Vanilla instant pudding dry mix
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup oil (vegetable or canola oil)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pumpkin bread.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil until combined. Stir in the pumpkin puree and sugar until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the vanilla instant pudding mix, flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a loaf pan thoroughly with butter or spray it with oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 15 to 30 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and moist.
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best texture and flavor.
- Allow the bread to cool to avoid crumbling when slicing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
