Ingredients You’ll Need

- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree: Pure pumpkin puree is perfect for this recipe; avoid the pie filling to maintain control over sweetness and spice.
- 1 cup granulated sugar: It balances the pumpkin’s earthiness with just enough sweetness to satisfy your cravings.
- 3 large eggs: Eggs provide moisture and help bind all the ingredients together for a uniform batter.
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil: This adds richness and helps keep the bread moist. You can substitute with melted coconut oil if you prefer.
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice: A lovely blend of spices that enhances the autumnal flavor of the pumpkin. Feel free to adjust to your liking!
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips plus a few extra for the top: These sweet morsels melt beautifully into the bread, adding creamy pockets of joy in every bite.
How to Make Bisquick Pumpkin Bread (So Easy!)
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, and ⅓ cup vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add 2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice to the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined; be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in ¾ cup white chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter for a sweet touch in every slice.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Scatter a few extra white chocolate chips over the surface to make it look extra inviting.
- Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storing & Reheating
To store your Bisquick pumpkin bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for about 2 days. For longer storage, transfer it to the refrigerator, which will keep it fresh for up to a week in an airtight container. You can also freeze the bread for up to 3 months; simply wrap it well and store it in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy a slice, just warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to come alive again. Keep in mind the texture may be a bit denser after freezing, but a little warming will help refresh it beautifully.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid overmixing your batter when incorporating the Bisquick; this keeps the bread light and fluffy, preventing it from becoming dense.
- Always use room temperature eggs—they mix in better and help maintain the bread’s structure.
- If you’re using pumpkin puree from fresh pumpkin, be sure it’s well-drained to avoid excess moisture in your batter.
- Experiment with different add-ins like nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor, making this bread your own!
- If you like it a little sweeter, consider adding a tablespoon or two of brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
- You can also make mini loaves or muffins for a cute gift option or to please a crowd!

Recipe FAQs
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Absolutely! You can use fresh pumpkin puree, but ensure it’s well-cooked and drained. Fresh pumpkin can have higher moisture content, so adjusting the amount slightly may be necessary depending on the consistency.
Can I replace the vegetable oil with another type?
Yes, you can substitute the vegetable oil with melted coconut oil, applesauce for a lower-fat option, or even butter for a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that different fats may change the texture slightly.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make gluten-free Bisquick pumpkin bread, simply use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick. Ensure your white chocolate chips are also gluten-free, and you’re all set!
What’s the best way to tell if my bread is done baking?
A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs—not wet batter. Also, the bread will pull away slightly from the sides of the pan and should look golden brown.
