How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this delicious bread:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Add the sugar and mix until combined.
4. Next, add all the other ingredients: flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and the vanilla pudding mix. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix!
