Why You Will Love Pumpkin Bread with 2 Ingredients

This easy recipe produces moist pumpkin bread. Because this bread is loaded with pumpkin puree, it retains its moisture. You definitely will not be biting into a dry piece with this recipe!
You can customize this treat to your preferences depending on your topping choice. You can go for a simple option like butter or honey, or up-level it with pumpkin butter, peanut butter, or another nut butter. This bread also tastes great when you top it with icing or a sweet glaze!
It’s packed with good-for-you pumpkin which basically makes it a health food, right? 😉

The 2 Ingredients You Need for This Bread

Ingredient quantities for this easy pumpkin bread recipe are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Spice cake mix – I highly recommend the Duncan Hines mix for superior flavor! (I like to buy it on Amazon because I find it’s typically cheaper than my local grocery stores)
Pumpkin puree (100% puree; not pumpkin pie mix)

How To Make Pumpkin Bread With 2-Ingredients (Quick Overview)

The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the bread. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Gather your two ingredients. You only need the dry cake mix and the pumpkin puree, that’s it! Trust the process and you will be rewarded with fantastic pumpkin bread. 😊

I highly recommend using Duncan Hines for the best flavor and the right cake mix size. With “shrinkflation,” Betty Crocker mixes are now 13.25 oz instead of 15.25 oz. If you opt for a Betty Crocker mix, use 13 oz of pumpkin puree instead of 15 oz.

Prepare your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal, then mix the puree and the dry cake mix on low speed, being careful not to overmix.

Add the batter to your prepared loaf pan.

If you find it hard to get the batter to even out, use a spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Keyword 2 ingredients, easy

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 45

Total Time 50

Ingredients

1 box 15.25 oz spice cake mix (dry mix; not prepared)
15 oz pumpkin puree

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Prepare a 9” x 5” loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang so you can easily lift the bread out of the pan when it’s done cooking.
Gently mix cake mix and pumpkin until the batter is smooth, being careful not to overmix.
Add batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool pan for five minutes on a rack, then remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to the rack to cool completely.

Notes

I recommend using Duncan Hines mix for superior flavor. Due to “shrinkflation,” Betty Crocker mixes are now 13.25 oz. If you use a Betty Crocker mix, use 13 oz pumpkin puree instead of 15 oz.
