A couple of weeks ago I posted a recipe for one of my favorite pumpkin breads. It is my favorite for everyday, but today I am posting my favorite holiday pumpkin bread. This bread is really good but not very healthy. This bread is a treat. It is more dessert and cake like.
I have been making this recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas for years. I came from a 1998 Taste of Home magazine. We love this recipe.
Delicious Pumpkin Bread
- 5 eggs
- 1-1/4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add oil and pumpkin; beat until smooth. Combine remaining ingredients and gradually beat into pumpkin mixture. Pour batter into 2 large loaf pans. Bake at 325° for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

This sounds WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing.
I have never tried pumpkin bread before and I’m not sure why. This sounds so delicious though!
I have been gathering pumpkin recipes for weeks now, and I thought I was done until I saw this recipe. This sounds, and looks, so delicious.
I’m drooling over the pumpkin recipes today now. Question: How would I sub for the boxed puddings, just put all by the wet ingredients in? Now that I am in love with your homemade pudding, I don’t think I can buy another box of pudding again.
This is one of the few things I actually buy boxed pudding for. I never make it up as it should be, but it is what I think makes this bread so good. You add it to the batter dry, so I don’t think just subbing the homemade pudding in it’s place would work sorry. But I am really glad that you like my homemade pudding!
Thanks. I wasn’t clear enough in my previous note, I guess. LOL. I meant, would I just use the dry mix ingredients from the pudding mix only. I think I might try it that way.
I am sorry that I misunderstood you. Yes, you just mix the dry pudding mix in, you do not make up the pudding you just add it dry to the other ingredients.
