Description
This Vanilla Pudding Pumpkin Bread combines warm spices with creamy sweetness for a moist loaf.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (dry)
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9×5 inch loaf pans, or line them with parchment paper leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a very large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant vanilla pudding mix powder, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin spice until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, combine the pure pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and large eggs. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
- Place pans into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 55-70 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a wooden skewer or toothpick into the center.
- Remove loaves from the oven and let them cool in their pans on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them onto the wire rack to cool completely.
- For the optional glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1½ cups powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Once the loaves are completely cool, drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the tops. Allow the glaze to set for about 15-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
