3 Ingredient Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Delicious pumpkin bread has never been easier. This 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Bread is full of pumpkin spice flavor and just takes a few simple steps to make.
While these recipes are proof that self-rising flour is an easy way to make fuss-free baked goods…
Sour Cream Pound Cake (with self-rising flour)
Blueberry Muffin Bread (with self-rising flour)
4 Ingredient Chocolate Bread (with self-rising flour)
…this 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Bread is proof that a box of cake mix is a game changer in its own right.
I’ve seen recipes floating around for easy pumpkin muffins and pumpkin cookies using yellow cake mix, but those require that you spice up (i.e. MORE ingredients needed) the mix.
Starting with a box of spice cake mix cuts down on the ingredients needed. That’s especially true when using the gingerbread cake mix. It’s full of pumpkin pie spice inspired flavors. All that’s needed is the canned pumpkin. (Oh, and 2 eggs plus a little water.)
It may not be the time of year to start celebrating all things pumpkin just yet. But who can argue that great ideas with simple ingredients are worth making year-round?
Can I make 3-ingredient pumpkin muffins with this recipe instead?
I haven’t tested this in a muffin tin, but I suspect it would work really well. Be sure to divide the batter evenly, and watch the time starting at around 30 minutes.
