You will not believe how easy these are. I mean SUPER easy. Not only easy but everyone seems to like them! I’ve given them as gifts, brought them to parties, and froze them for later use. This is, by far, my favorite “in a pinch” holiday dessert.
OH! and a QUOTE from the Husband, “Ohhhh that’s the stuff!” Needless to say, the toddler is a fan too! 
Ingredients:
- 1 box Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix
- 2 egg whites
- 1 15 oz can of pumpkin
- < 1 tbsp quick oats (optional – used for decoration)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
Whisk the egg whites and pumpkin. Stir in the cake mix and blend until just moistened.
Spray 4 mini-loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. Evenly distribute the cake batter into the pans, just about halfway.
Sprinkle the tops with quick oats and bake for about 40 minutes.
As for the serving and nutritional information, according to the cake mix package, there are 12 servings. That would be 3 servings per loaf. In my opinion, you can count 2 slices per serving and easily serve 4 people per loaf (8 slices). So I’m providing nutritional information for 16 servings. That’s 4 servings per loaf. (I hope that makes sense, I almost confused myself!)

I made these tonight. Super easy and delicious. I am freezing most of it as they are too good to keep around. I will do them again and add shredded apple as suggested in one post. Thank you for all of your yummy recipes. They have helped me so much with my weight loss, making cooking fun and exciting again.
Do you think it woudld work if I made a spice cake mix at home? I can't have boxed cake mixes but would love to make this if I could substitute "safe for me" ingredients. It would also be a way to get whole wheat flour into the bread instead of white flour.
You might be able to modify this.. https://greenlitebites.com/2010/10/07/mini-banana-bread-loaves/ to use pumpkin instead of banana. Just a thought!
yeah.. you should fine! let me know how it turns out!
does this amount of batter fit into a 9 x 13 pan?
glad you liked them and DITTO!! I really have to watch myself. 🙂
This was wonderful, Roni! I took it to work & everyone thought I was some great cook. LOL I'll definitely be making this for my family at Christmas. The only problem is that I could eat all of it in one sitting if I was in a weak moment.
These are fabulous! I served them at a gathering of friends tonight and everyone loved them. Thanks Roni!
KC - I agree, I'd much rather whole grain, but in a pinch for a party this can't be beat! Thanks for the comment!
The hubby loves that he is eating cake for breakfast and losing weight! 🙂
These are pretty tasty. I'm a whole-wheat muffin fan myself so I would prefer those over these, but these are definately a crowd pleaser and good for those who don't care for the whole-wheat taste. And it was ridiculous how simple it was to make....really, 3 ingredients and stir.
Carolyn - I have the perfect post for you..

There are some great ideas in the comments.
Hope that helps!
Roni, this may be in your blog somewhere, but I could not find it. I am looking for suggestions for "snacks" to go in my purse for when I am out and about during the day and start to FADE. I can take bagged almonds, etc. but thought I would check and see if you or your "public" have any suggestion. Something that can just go in the purse or car, no refrigeration needed. And in our Texas heat, they can't stay in the car for very long. Was also looking for something with protein, not just a sweet thing. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. Carolyn
These are sooo good! I added 1 shredded apple (peeled) to the mix and made muffins instead of the mini loaves. My 3 year old loves them!!! Thank you for all of your great recipes!!!
This recipe was absolutely delicious!!! I will recommend it to everyone that I know! I love, love, love pumpkin spice bread and this recipe is perfect! I did not have the mini muffin pans, so I used a 9 X 12 pan and cooked it at 350 for 30 minutes and it was very moist and cooked just like a cake. Thank you soooo much Roni for this wonderful recipe. I am just starting WW's and needed something that did not taste like I was on a diet and this recipe was very delicious!
I just made this recipe, but made them into muffins instead of bread. Mmmmmm...... so delicious and the kids love them too!! Bonus: The house smells great!

I literally just tried these and they are DELICIOUS! I can't wait to give them as gifts... as long as I don't eat them all....
I tried something similar for Thanksgiving this year, but I also added cranberries into the mix.
looks yummy! will try soon 😀
