Easy Pumpkin Bread
Description
This recipe mixes canned pumpkin purée directly with a box of spice cake mix or pumpkin bread mix without adding eggs or oil, resulting in a dense, moist batter. The batter is poured into a prepared loaf pan and baked at 350°F until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
The bread has warm flavors from the spice mix enhanced by the pumpkin's natural moisture. The method simplifies pumpkin bread preparation by skipping extra ingredients and using readily available cake mix.
You can customize by stirring in chocolate chips or nuts before baking. The bread is best cooled before slicing and stores well at room temperature for several days or can be frozen.
This recipe works well with standard 15-ounce cake mixes but can adapt to mixes from 13 to 15 ounces. Using canned pumpkin purée (not pie filling) is important for proper texture.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree canned
- 1 box spice cake mix about 15 ounces, or pumpkin bread mix
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a bread loaf pan with parchment paper or heavily spray with nonstick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, add pumpkin purée and spice cake mix. Do not prepare cake mix as written. Just add the powder.
- Then, mix together. Batter will be thick.
- Spread into lined bread pan.
- Bake for 38 to 42 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow bread to cool before slicing.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, for proper texture.
- This recipe works well with spice cake or pumpkin muffin mix around 13 to 15 ounces in size.
- Do not add eggs, oil, or other ingredients; just mix pumpkin purée with the dry cake mix.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other mix-ins.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean to avoid overbaking.
- Store bread covered at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
