Introduction
Butterscotch Pudding Bread is a moist, flavorful loaf that combines the rich taste of butterscotch with a tender bread texture. Perfect for a sweet snack or a comforting dessert, this easy recipe will have you enjoying warm, freshly baked bread in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2/3 cup 2% milk
- 1 package Jell-O butterscotch pudding mix (99g)
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon 2% milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Mix them well until smooth.
- Step 3: Add the milk, butterscotch pudding mix, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir again until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Step 4: Gradually add the flour, folding the batter gently to avoid lumps. Mix just until the flour disappears and the batter is smooth.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Step 6: Let the bread cool completely before mixing the icing sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk to form a glaze. Drizzle the icing over the top, slice, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- Swap 2% milk for whole milk or cream for a richer texture.
- Mix in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and taste.
- Use a bundt pan instead of a loaf pan for a decorative shape.
Storage
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep it longer, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat slices gently in a microwave or toaster oven before serving to restore freshness.

FAQs
Can I use instant pudding mix instead of Jell-O butterscotch pudding mix?
Yes, instant pudding mix works well and can simplify preparation since it typically requires no cooking. Just ensure it’s the butterscotch flavor to maintain the intended taste.
Can I make this bread dairy-free?
To make it dairy-free, substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine or oil, and use your preferred dairy-free milk alternative such as almond or oat milk. The texture may vary slightly but will still be delicious.
