Main Ingredients
- 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding dry mix
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature to bake the bread evenly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and vegetable oil until combined. Add the pumpkin puree and sugar, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the vanilla instant pudding mix, flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until all ingredients are just combined without overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare baking pan: Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with non-stick oil spray or grease it well with butter to prevent sticking.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool before slicing: Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 15-30 minutes after baking. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure clean slices.
Notes
- You can substitute the vanilla instant pudding mix with a homemade vanilla pudding powder if preferred.
- For extra moistness, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter as it can make the bread dense.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freezing slices is possible for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
