Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, dry instant vanilla pudding, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend melted butter or oil, sugar, pumpkin puree, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and sprinkle with optional nuts if desired.
  6. Bake for 60-65 minutes, checking for doneness with a skewer.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice the bread and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar or spread with cream cheese frosting before serving.
