How to make pumpkin bread with cake mix. This is an incredibly easy 2 ingredient pumpkin bread recipe made with a spice cake mix, but you can also use different cake mix flavors.

Fall means pumpkins and apples. Unfortunately, fall also means back to school. I don't know about you, but we are not adjusting to this new schedule.

It seems like there aren't enough hours in a day anymore. Dinner is usually a slow cooker recipe or something that I can pull from the freezer premade.

There also isn't much time for extra baking. That's why I love this easy cake mix pumpkin bread. It only has two ingredients.

Why is My Pumpkin Bread Dry?

The key to a moist pumpkin bread with spice cake mix is using enough pumpkin. If you don't use enough pumpkin puree, then your cake mix pumpkin bread recipe will be too dry.

Why Is My Pumpkin Bread So Dense?

Too much fat will make a quick bread dense. Since this uses pumpkin in place of the fats, this cake mix pumpkin bread won't be too dense.

How Do You Know When Pumpkin Bread is Done?

This pumpkin bread made with cake mix will get a golden brown, so it's hard to tell when it's done. I use a cake tester or a butter knife and insert it into the center of the loaf.

If it comes out clean, then it is done.

How Do You Fix Undercooked Pumpkin Bread?

It's frustrating to pull your cake mix pumpkin bread out of the oven, let it cool, and then realize that it wasn't fully cooked. All is not lost, however, you can bake it again.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the 2 ingredient pumpkin bread for 20 to 30 minutes.

Can I Use Homemade Pumpkin Puree?

I love making Instant Pot pumpkin puree for my fall baking, but I don't recommend using it in this cake mix pumpkin bread recipe.

Your homemade puree will have more water than canned pumpkin. Since this is a two ingredient pumpkin bread, that extra water can throw off the ratio of ingredients and cause soggy bread.

How Long Does Cake Mix Pumpkin Bread Last?

Your cake mix pumpkin bread recipe will last for about two days on the counter. Store it in an airtight container.

You can also store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

How to Make Cake Mix Pumpkin Bread With Other Cake Mix Flavors

I make a pumpkin bread with spice cake mix. However, you can use other flavors. If you use a white cake mix or a yellow cake mix, then I recommend adding 1 teaspoon cinnamon or 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice. Or make your own pumpkin pie spice recipe.

You can also use a chocolate cake mix to make an easy cake mix pumpkin bread.

Pumpkin Bread Made With Cake Mix Variations

Here are some variations that you can try for your cake mix pumpkin bread recipe.

Add white chocolate chips.
Add dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips.
Add pecans or walnuts.
Drizzle maple syrup on top.
Add 1 to 3 eggs (read the cake mix box) for a more cake like cake mix pumpkin bread.
Add the oil from the directions on the cake mix for very moist pumpkin bread made with spice cake mix.

Two Ingredient Pumpkin Bread Tips

Here are some tips to help you make a delicious easy one loaf pumpkin bread recipe:

Stir the cake mix pumpkin bread until just combined. Don't overmix because the bread can get hard.
If you find that the pumpkin bread with spice cake mix is too dry, add the oil or the eggs from the directions on the cake mix.
Spray the pan with a nonstick spray or use butter. This helps the batter climb the walls as the bread breaks.
Always test your cake mix pumpkin bread for doneness.
