Only three ingredients!
The number one thing that always reminds me of my mother around the holidays is pumpkin bread. She used to make a ton of it, I remember the batches being mixed in the huge “popcorn” Tupperware bowl. The smells of pumpkin and spice just take me back and are a precious memory. This recipe is much easier than my mother’s recipe. Just three ingredients to this amazingly good pumpkin bread.
Ingredients
- BREAD:
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1-2 eggs (1 egg denser bread)
- 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree (NOT PUMPKIN PIE MIX)
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350º
- In a large bowl mix egg(s) and pumpkin together until well incorporated.
- Stir in the cake mix, by hand, and any “extras” until smooth. Be careful to not over mix.
- Pour mixture into a greased and floured* loaf pan (8½ x 4½ or similar size)
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- After about 5 minutes I take the bread out and let it continue to cool on a rack, so it doesn’t sweat in the pan.
*If you prefer you can use parchment paper.
MIX IT UP:
Add a packet of vanilla pudding (makes it more moist)
Add one cup of nuts, white chocolate chips, cranberries, chopped dates or raisins
Top it with 8 oz cream cheese frosting
