Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ½ cup of oil until combined and smooth.
  3. Mix in 1 cup of pumpkin puree and 1 cup of sugar into the egg and oil mixture. Stir until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 package of vanilla instant pudding dry mix, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice. Stir until just combined.
  5. Grease a standard loaf pan (9x5 inch) with cooking spray or butter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Let it cool in the pan for 15-30 minutes on a wire rack.

Notes

Mind the Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter; it can lead to a dense loaf. Choose the Right Pumpkin: Use pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling. Cooling Matters: Allow the bread to cool in the pan to retain moisture.
