Ingredients

  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin purée
  • 1 box spice cake mix or pumpkin bread mix, about 15 ounces

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.
  • This recipe works well with spice cake mix or pumpkin muffin mix.
  • Do not prepare the cake as written on the box.  There is no need to add eggs, oil, or anything else.
  • Use gluten free cake mix for gluten free.
  • Look for a cake mix or muffin mix that is about 15 ounces.  While 15 ounces is ideal, this recipe can be made with 13 ounce mixes.
  • The batter will be thick.
  • Feel free to add in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or any other mix ins.
  • Bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Do not over bake.
  • Store bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Bread freezes well.
