12 Slices
Ingredients
- 15 oz. box Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread Mix
- 2/3 cup Apple Cider
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/4 cups White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a 9"x 5" bread pan with a piece of parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir the pumpkin box mix with 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Mix together until the chocolate chips are coated in the dry ingredients, and then create a well in the middle of the bowl.
- In another bowl, combine eggs, apple cider, and vegetable oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine with a whisk until well blended.
- Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the top of the batter with the additional 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips.
- Bake in the oven for about 52-57 minutes until the top of loaf is golden brown, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow loaf to cool 10 minutes, then gently loosen and remove from pan. Place on a wire rack to continue cooling.
Notes
- Always preheat your oven before baking. This ensures that your bread bakes evenly and rises properly.
- You can use a 8"x4" loaf pan. Just make sure to adjust the baking time to about 57-62 minutes.
- To prevent your bread from sticking, generously spray your loaf pan with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper. This step ensures an easy release after baking.
- Use apple cider instead of water. The natural sweetness and acidity of cider not only enhance the flavor but also contribute to the bread's overall moistness.
- Get creative with your chocolate morsels. While white chocolate chips provide a sweet contrast, feel free to experiment with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even butterscotch chips!
- Mix your dry and wet ingredients separately. This method prevents over mixing, ensuring a tender, moist texture in every bite.
- Opt for a whisk instead of a spatula when combining your wet and dry ingredients. Whisking not only ensures thorough mixing but also incorporates air into the batter. This aeration results in a lighter, fluffier texture in your bread.
- Allow your pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cooling it in the pan helps it retain its shape, and cooling on a rack prevents sogginess by allowing air circulation.
