Dry Ingredients
- 1 package (3.4 oz) Vanilla instant pudding dry mix
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the pumpkin bread.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the oil until fully combined. Then add the pumpkin puree and sugar, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the vanilla instant pudding mix, flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and baking soda. Mix until all ingredients are just combined without overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare Loaf Pan: Spray a loaf pan with oil spray or grease it generously with butter to prevent sticking.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Place it in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Down: Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 15-30 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack if possible to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Leftovers: Allow the bread to cool completely, then wrap loosely in paper towels before placing in a zip lock bag or airtight container. Store at room temperature to maintain moisture balance.
- Freezer: For longer storage, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Bring the bread to room temperature before reheating. Warm it in a 350-degree oven for 5-7 minutes to refresh its softness.
