2-Ingredient Pumpkin Bread
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
- 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
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray (1) 8½ x 4½- inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
