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.

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

    Cup of Yum
  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.
