How to Make Bisquick Pumpkin Bread (So Easy!)
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly. This will ensure your bread releases easily after baking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, and ⅓ cup of vegetable oil until smooth and well combined. This mixture should feel creamy and cohesive.
- Add dry ingredients: Gently fold in 2 ½ cups of Bisquick baking mix and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice until just combined—try not to overmix, as this keeps your bread tender.
- Incorporate white chocolate: Carefully fold in ¾ cup of white chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly dispersed throughout the batter. Save a few to sprinkle on top for that beautiful finish!
- Pour & smooth: Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle a few extra white chocolate chips on top for a little extra flair.
- Bake: Pop your loaf into the oven and bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You’ll know it’s done when it’s beautifully golden brown and fragrant.
- Cool it down: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for a perfect crumb.
Storing & Reheating
Store your Bisquick Pumpkin Bread at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it, where it will stay fresh for about a week. For longer storage, slice and wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing, ensuring it lasts up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, refreshing the flavors and texture wonderfully!
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid overmixing: Gently stir your batter to prevent tough bread—a little lumps are okay!
- Room temperature eggs: For best results, let your eggs sit out a bit to warm before mixing.
- Check for doneness: If your toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, that’s perfectly fine—just not wet batter.
- Experiment with spices: Try adding a pinch of ginger or cloves to spice it up a bit!
- Make-ahead options: Bake a couple of loaves ahead of time, perfect for busy weekday mornings.

Recipe FAQs
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Absolutely! If you prefer fresh pumpkin, roast it until tender and then puree it. Just ensure the moisture content is similar to canned pumpkin puree for the best results.
What should I do if my bread doesn’t rise?
Check your Bisquick mix for freshness, as expired leavening agents can affect rising. Also, avoid overmixing, which can create a denser texture.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
You can easily substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix that has similar properties. Ensure that all your other ingredients are also gluten-free.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, doubling the recipe is an excellent way to bake for gatherings! Just make sure to use two loaf pans or adjust your baking time accordingly if you bake it in a single pan.
