If the cozy aromas of fall could be captured in a single treat, this would be it. Combining the sweet warmth of butterscotch pudding mix with seasonal pumpkin puree, this bread is supremely moist, gently spiced, and perfect for crisp autumn mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, stir the butterscotch pudding mix into the pumpkin puree until evenly combined. Fold in the granulated and brown sugars, then whisk in the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined—overmixing can lead to dense bread.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for even baking. Pop it into the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing.
This Golden Butterscotch Pumpkin Bliss Bread is a sweet, comforting delight that satisfies both pumpkin lovers and anyone longing for a warm fall treat. It’s terrific for breakfast alongside a steamy cup of coffee or as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.
If you want to reduce the sugar, consider using a sugar-free pudding mix or cutting back on the brown sugar. You can also add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for a fun twist.
With its moist crumb and subtle butterscotch flavor, this bread is sure to become a cool-weather staple for friends, family, and anyone craving a slice of cozy autumn bliss.
