Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 package instant butterscotch pudding 3.4 oz., dry powder, unprepared
  • tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 cup butter, browned and fragrant
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 can pure pumpkin puree 15 oz.

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spices.
  • Whisk until well incorporated and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the melted browned butter, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and eggs.
  • To brown the butter, melt it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it becomes golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  • Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, slice and serve.
