Pumpkin Loaf

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally spray three (8-inch x 4-inch) loaf pans and set aside.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, pudding mix, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
3. 3
   In a medium sized bowl, combine the pumpkin, eggs, oil and vanilla and whisk until well-blended.
4. 4
   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until completely combined.
5. 5
   Divide the batter evenly among the three loaf pans. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing the bread from pans to wire racks.
6. 6
   The loaves also freeze well. Just wrap tightly with plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or store in a freezer bag.
