Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 15 oz yellow cake mix
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- 15 oz canned pumpkin
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the canned pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and oil. Beat well until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Cake Mix: Gradually add the yellow cake mix to the wet ingredients and beat until the batter is completely combined with no lumps.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared pumpkin bread batter into the loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake the pumpkin bread for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.
Notes
- You can substitute olive oil with vegetable oil or melted butter for different flavor profiles.
- Check the bread with a toothpick starting at 45 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out the loaf.
- This pumpkin bread keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be refrigerated for up to a week.
- Optional add-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips can be folded in before baking for added texture and flavor.
