Ingredients for Best Ever Pumpkin Bread

  • Vegetable Oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Coconut Cream Pudding Mix
  • Sugar
  • Canned Pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

How to Make Best Ever Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips (optional).
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 50 minutes.
  8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
