Save or Splurge: Pumpkin Bread Wars

?? SAVE or SPLURGE: PUMPKIN BREAD WARS ??

Have you noticed how many pumpkin bread mixes are out there?! Every store has at least one and the price difference is SHOCKING! From $3 at Walmart all the way to nearly $16 at Williams Sonoma ? So what’s the difference? Is there any? Honestly, they’re all good options, but one is the BEST BUY by far! ?

To find out which mix was really worth it, I taste tested each. All batters were pretty similar: with water, eggs, and 3 mixes calling for oil and one for butter. A great hack I love to use is to spray your pan over the dishwasher to avoid any messes.

After baking, the 3 mixes calling for oil all looked identical. On the other hand, the $16 Williams Sonoma mix called for butter. This guy turned out pretty dark because it browned faster.

Now it’s time for the taste test! I started with the $16 Williams Sonoma mix. While this bread was more browned, it was delicious. She might just be worth the price.

Next, I tried the $4.10 Krusteaz mix. This guy was the least pumpkin tasting, and it gave me more of a Banana bread feel. I’d totally eat this one!

The $3.50 Trader Joe’s mix turned out to be really moist and pumpkin-y. This guy was a little crumbly, but your mouth won’t know that! Overall, this one was great.

The cheapest mix was the $3 Pillsbury mix. This one was more pumpkin-y that any of the other mixes! She turned out beautiful. This mix wins best in show?

Comment and let my know if you’ve tried any of these or another one, I’d love to hear your favorite ?
