A recipe that calls for only two ingredients is always a winner in my book.
On top of that, this bread is extremely moist, perfectly pumpkinny and it’s so dang delicious that you’ll likely eat the whole loaf in one day! And trust me, that’s usually how fast every loaf goes in our house!
You can also make this recipe as jumbo or mini muffins! We adjusted the bake time to 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Trying this stat! Looks delicious!
I made this tonight. Added 3 eggs to it and some chopped pecans! Came awesome!
This looks amazing! And how simple! I might actually be able to make it without screwing it up *bookmarking immediately*
I make muffins using these ingredients. SO good!!
Yummy! Making this recipe this week, thanks sweet friend!
I have to say I'm a little skeptical, but it looks delicious! Can't wait to try!
Can anyone tell me what size can of pumpkin to use.
Thank you
John, the smaller 15 oz. can
It’s excellent!
i just did that with Trader Joe's pumpkin bread mix. So yummy!!!
Ahhhhh YES I will be making this shortly! Thanks sweets!
I plan on making this every day for the rest of the season.
Looks like I know what I will be doing with my evening! A quick trip to the store is in order and then I will be making this!Jamie @ The Growing Up Diaries
My mom picked up the ingredients for this and left them at my house so I made muffins this weekend. I thought they were a little gummy but Blaire is gobbling them up! I'll call it a win! 🙂
This looks totally easy and delicious and exactly what I'll be taking home for Thanksgiving. :)Thanks for sharing!
Have done the easy banana bread and it was a hit. Can’t wait to try the pumpkin recipe 😊
How many bananas did u use
oh yum. 2 ingredients? right up my ally!
yum, I'm gonna make this tonight!
YUM! Def going to have to try this 🙂
Sooo easy! And looks incredible! Pinning to make this! Thanks 🙂
My mom made this every fall growing up– we always make muffins and add in walnuts and chocolate chips! Perfect on the go snack!
I've made this & IT IS delicious. Not to mention easy!!
So easy! This would be great as little mini muffins too!
I volunteered to bring pumpkin bread for Bosses' Day on Wednesday and I am now thinking I'm going to scrap my usual somewhat labor-intensive recipe and give this one a try. What a great idea!!
Yummmmm I'm making this for sure!!
I can't wait to try this! It looks amazing!
Can you say yummy??? Thank you so much for sharing! I'm adding this to my must bake fall list right now 🙂
This seems easy enough! definitely baking this week :)XOXO
Bookmarking this and making it the second I have access to a kitchen! Yum!
I made this the other day. It is soooo good!
I have a question so we just add the cake mix with out the eggs and oil , water?
Correct!! You are ONLY using the cake mix!
That pumpkin bread looks so delicious! And easy enough even I might be able to make it 🙂
For the pumpkin bread, do you follow the cake mix instructions and add the oil, eggs and water, mix and then add the can of pumpkin or do you just put cake mix in bowl, add the pumpkin and mix?
Thanks
You can also use that recipe but add chocolate chips and make pumpkin cookies!
Your bread looks gorgeous! Nicely captured. I then went on to look at the ingredients of the cake mix but was dismayed to see it's full of chemicals and Yellow 5 Lake. That's a shame.
Namaste box Spice Cake mix has all natural, plant-based ingredients. It is gluten free but I had a good experience using it instead of the Duncan Hines/Betty Crocker.
I will be making this ASAP! Thanks for sharing!
mmm i love pumpkin anything! i'll have to try this recipe soon. xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Must make this!
Made this yesterday and it was delish! My picky 7 year old even ate 3 slices.
Do you mix the cake mix o ly or do you mix the cake mix with the egg and oil then add pumpkin mix ???
This was the absolute best pumpkin bread I ever ate – and the first I ever made! I even added raisins and sprinkled jimmies on top. Fantastic!!!
I MAKE THIS ALL THE TIME! My grandma showed me it years ago. I always add 1 egg, 2 tbsp butter, a little sugar, some extra spice, and vanilla (you can never have enough vanilla!) The egg makes it extra fluffy. LOVE IT! <3
Love making this but I always have to bake it longer because it never bakes fully after 40 min for me. Otherwise its Soooo good!
I added 2 eggs! Came out great!! Made 4 mini loafs! Preheat oven on 350! Bake for 30 minutes!!
Do you mix the dry cake mix with the pumpkin and bake? Or the prepared cake mix as indicated on the box then add pumpkin?
Just the dry mix and can of pumpkin……weird but it works
Do I mix the cake mix first according to directions or just add pumpkin to the dry mix?
So it's just the cake mix and add the Pumpkin puree or do you mix the cake mix as shown on the box then add the Pumpkin puree
So it's just the cake mix and add the Pumpkin puree or do you mix the cake mix as shown on the box then add the Pumpkin puree
What size of can did you use, the regular or the size can.
I’m wondering the same thing so please post if you find out
15 oz can
I make muffins and add 1 egg and Hershey’s cinnamon chips. ALWAYS A HIT!!
I absolutely LOVE this recipe!!!
I had been looking for a pumpkin bread/muffin recipe that didn’t include oils. This evening I used the recipe and made regular size muffins and they turned out perfectly. The real test was when my “taste tester” husband did an official taste test….drum roll please….he loved them!!!
The muffins were moist, the awesome pumpkin flavor shined through, and the cake mix added the right amount of spices and such. As muffins, they are easy to pack for lunch!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful easy to make delicious recipe. It is nice addition to our family favorites!
We just made this delicious pumpkin bread with our kindergarten class. It was perfect!! We used an instapot to bake the bread and the classroom smelled great! Thankfully be bought enough to bake it twice. We ate both loaves in one day!! We are looking for other two ingredient things to bake in our class instapot now!!
Oh my! Genius. What are the instructions for baking it in the instaPot??
Looks wonderful,
What size pumpkin do you use for this?
Looks good but had trouble getting it to cook through completely. Kept adding time. Still a little mushy inside. Dissappointed. Was for Thanksgiving.
I am looking for cranberry sauce bread using a cake mix to make it with . Cranberry bread is good but can you a cake mix then bake it. I love 2 or 3 ingredients bread recipe because the easy & quick way is for me. I am 75 but like to make bread that is quick to fix & bake. Let me know on my email please [email protected] please soon.
OMG, you just hit my sweet spot! I am going to make some cranberry bread this week, but I think I’ll try it with butter pecan cake mix instead of spice. Or maybe even yellow cake! Mmm, with pecans! If it doesn’t work, the next time I’ll try it with an egg or two. Thanks for the idea!!
