Quick Pumpkin Cornbread

Use a premade cornbread mix and add a few ingredients for a special fall twist that is healthier than traditional pumpkin bread. As written, it is a perfect side for soup or chili.

Ingredients

• 3 cups cornbread mix
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons oat bran
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan.
2. Stir cornbread mix, water, pumpkin puree, egg, oil, sugar, oat bran, molasses, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice together until mixed thoroughly. Pour into the loaf pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
