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 granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prepare the batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together until combined. Stir in the pumpkin puree, then add the sugar and mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, vanilla pudding mix, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and baking soda to ensure even distribution.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare Pan and Bake: Grease a loaf pan with butter or spray it with oil spray. Pour the batter evenly into the loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15-30 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and spice levels.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
- If you prefer, add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
- Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- You can freeze sliced bread for up to 2 months; thaw slices before serving.
