Wow, I didn’t realize you could make this using only two ingredients
Welcome the warm, comforting tastes of fall with one of the easiest pumpkin bread recipes you’ll ever come across. This clever method trims the ingredient list down to the bare minimum, showing that you can bake a tender, aromatic loaf without stocking up on spices, eggs, or oils.
By simply mixing a box of spice cake mix with a can of pumpkin puree, you get the perfect combination: the cake mix brings structure, leavening, and those classic autumn spices (like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves), while the pumpkin puree adds moisture and rich, earthy flavor. The result is a pleasantly dense bread that requires almost no effort—no special equipment, no softened ingredients, and hardly any dishes to clean. It’s ideal for a quick seasonal breakfast, a school bake sale, or a cozy afternoon treat with a warm drink.

| Pumpkin Purée | 1 can (15 oz) |
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the Oven & Prepare the Pan
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
Place the spice cake mix and pumpkin purée in a large bowl. Stir until everything is fully combined. The mixture will be thick.
Step 3: Bake the Loaf
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Cool Before Slicing
Let the loaf rest in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then move it to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
