This Starbucks pumpkin bread is my favorite go-to recipe.  The bread is extremely moist, slightly dense and full of fall spice flavor.  It’s more like a pumpkin pound cake in texture.

How to make Pumpkin Bread

Recipe by Todd Wilbur

It’s a very simple recipe. So simple you will be making it all the time!

I love pumpkin anything and don’t care if it’s not pumpkin season.  I will make this bread any time I have a craving.

Be prepared for it to disappear quickly. I swear this is the best pumpkin bread recipe from scratch.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease and flour an 8×4 or 9×5 inch loaf pan, set aside.

Place the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.

No need to purchase premade pumpkin pie spice for this recipe!

In a large bowl beat the eggs, sugars, and vanilla together on high for 30 seconds.

Add the pumpkin puree and vegetable oil to the wet ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer. ( I use a handheld.) Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix well.

Pour the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

I’m not a fan of chocolate with pumpkin but if you are, add about 1 cup of chocolate chips before baking. Also, if you like, sprinkle pumpkin seeds on the top before baking.

Let the pumpkin bread cool before slicing, if you can. I usually let it cool just enough to easily remove from the pan.

Stay home, pour yourself a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and enjoy a nice warm slice of bread just loaded with pumpkin flavor!

This makes a great friend and neighbor gift too. Who wouldn’t love to receive a homemade Pumpkin Bread fresh from the oven?

I warn you this bread is addictive! You will make it all year long.
