Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sugar
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
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pumpkin bread.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs together with ⅓ cup oil. Then add the entire can of pumpkin puree and 1 cup sugar, mixing well until fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the vanilla instant pudding mix, flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare the Loaf Pan: Lightly grease a loaf pan with oil spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 15 to 30 minutes. This helps it set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the pumpkin spice is fresh to enhance the bread’s aroma and flavor.
- Letting the bread cool before slicing prevents crumbling and helps retain moisture.
- You can substitute oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
