2-Ingredient Pumpkin Bread

This pumpkin bread uses just a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree to create a moist and flavorful loaf. The texture is tender and soft with warm spice notes from the cake mix, enhanced optionally by a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar on top. It's a practical choice for a quick homemade bread when you want pumpkin flavor without much effort or extra ingredients. The simplicity makes it approachable for beginners or a helpful last-minute bread for fall or holiday gatherings.

Description

2-Ingredient Pumpkin Bread combines a spice cake mix and pure pumpkin puree to form the batter, baked into a moist loaf with a tender crumb. Baking it in a loaf pan allows the bread to develop a golden crust, and the optional cinnamon sugar topping adds a touch of extra sweetness and texture. The bread’s spices come from the cake mix, while the pumpkin puree keeps it moist and rich without requiring additional wet ingredients.

The method is straightforward: mix the dry cake mix with canned pumpkin, pour into a prepared loaf pan, and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Cooling the bread before slicing prevents it from crumbling. This bread can be served as a snack, breakfast, or dessert side, pairing well with butter or cream cheese.

You can customize by adding mini chocolate chips or nuts in the batter to increase texture and flavor complexity. This is an easy way to incorporate pumpkin flavor into your baking without needing multiple spices or separate ingredients.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 box spice cake mix 15.25 ounces, Duncan Hines brand
  • 1 can pumpkin puree 15 ounces, pure
  • cinnamon sugar optional, or coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray (1) 8½ x 4½- inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix with the pumpkin puree until incorporated. Spoon batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top of the batter with a spatula until even. If desired, sprinkle the top of the loaf generously with cinnamon sugar or coarse sugar.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to let the bread cool in the pan before removing to maintain its shape.
  • Sprinkling cinnamon sugar or coarse sugar on top before baking adds a slight crunch and sweetness.
