Ingredients
- 5 eggs room temperature
- 1 cup oil (I used sunflower oil; canola or vegetable are good, too)
- 15 ounces 100% pure pumpkin puree (NOT pie filling)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 ounces cook & serve vanilla pudding mix (2 - 3-ounce packages)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325℉.
- Grease (5) small loaf pans (approx. 5 3/4 x 3 x 2 size) and set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add oil and pumpkin, beating until smooth.5 eggs, 1 cup oil, 15 ounces 100% pure pumpkin puree
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine. Gradually add to the pumpkin mixture, beating after each addition.2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 6 ounces cook & serve vanilla pudding mix, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Divide batter equally between the loaf pans. Place pans on a large baking sheet prior to placing in the oven.
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire cooling rack until completely cooled.
Notes
- Recipe makes 5 mini loaves but you can bake it in 2 larger loaf pans if preferred. You'll need to bake it slightly longer if using the larger pans.
- Store leftovers tightly wrapped or in an airtight container. They'll keep for 2-3 days on the counter or 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
- To freeze: Wrap cooled loaves in a double layer of plastic wrap and place in freezer bags. They'll keep for about 2 months (if they last that long). To use, defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
- Nutritional information is based on cutting each mini loaf into 4 slices.
