Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 box (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, yellow cake mix, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vegetable oil, and water.
- Step 3: Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Step 5: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 6: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
- To keep your pumpkin bread moist, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
- A quick zap in the microwave for 15-20 seconds per slice will bring out the warm, comforting flavors again.
- This bread is delicious as is, but a dollop of whipped cream or a cream cheese frosting takes it to the next level!
- For an even more intense pumpkin flavor, try adding an extra half-teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the batter.
