Hey guys, what’s up! I’ve been messing around in the kitchen again, and let me tell you, I stumbled upon something super simple and delicious. It’s called the “Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Bread,” and trust me, it’s a game changer for those cozy fall vibes. I mean, who doesn’t love the smell of pumpkin spice wafting through their house?
Getting Started
So, I started by grabbing a can of pumpkin puree. Now, I found out that a 15-ounce can is just under 2 cups, which is good to know. I also learned that you can use a pie pumpkin, but who’s got time for that? Canned it is!
Mixing It Up
Next, I grabbed a box of spice cake mix. Yep, that’s the secret ingredient. I dumped the pumpkin puree and the cake mix into a big bowl. I started mixing it all up, and let me tell ya, it got thick real quick. I added a little extra water, maybe a splash or two, just to get it to a nice, smooth consistency.
Baking Time
I preheated my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, like the box told me to. While that was heating up, I greased up a loaf pan. You don’t want this stuff sticking, believe me. Once the oven was ready, I poured the batter into the pan and popped it in.
The Waiting Game
The box said to bake it for about 50-60 minutes, but I always start checking a little early. I used the toothpick trick – you know, stick a toothpick in the center, and if it comes out clean, it’s done. Mine took about 55 minutes, but ovens can be different, so keep an eye on it.
The Final Product
When it was done, I pulled it out of the oven and let it cool for a bit. The smell was amazing, I’m not gonna lie. Once it was cool enough to handle, I sliced it up, and bam! Two-ingredient pumpkin bread, ready to be devoured.
Tips and Tricks
- Don’t overmix: Just mix until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Add-ins: I threw in some chocolate chips in one batch, and it was awesome. Nuts would be good too.
- Storage: I kept mine in an airtight container, and it stayed fresh for a few days.
Honestly, this recipe is so easy, it’s almost foolproof. Plus, it makes your house smell like a fall wonderland. Give it a try, and let me know what you think. I bet you’ll love it just as much as I did!
And I also learned that you can actually use pumpkin as a substitute for eggs and butter, but I haven’t tried that yet.
Alright, that’s all I’ve got for now. Catch you guys later!
