    My Starbucks Pumpkin Bread recipe is ready to bake with just 10 minutes of easy prep work. It’s even more moist and flavorful than the pumpkin loaf from Starbucks you know and love! So simple, even a total beginner can make it in 5 steps.

    My family and I are obsessed with it, and so is everyone I share it with! It’s so easy to make that even someone who never baked can make it with no fuss.

    If you love the famous Starbucks Pumpkin bread recipe, you are going to love this one too! It’s a quick bread recipe that’s perfect for a snack, dessert, or even breakfast and brunch.

    I am told over and over that this is their absolute favorite pumpkin bread recipe by our readers!

    Even better than the Starbucks bread! Great recipe I have used several times and the family loves it!

    Starbucks Pumpkin Bread Recipe

    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour an 8×4-inch loaf pan (9×5 works too).
    2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice & salt. 
    3. In a separate bowl beat together the oil, sugars, vanilla extract & eggs until smooth. Then mix i¼n the canned pumpkin.
    4. With the mixer on low, mix the flour mixture into the mixture until smooth.
    5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with pumpkin seeds. 
    6. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes (or about 45-55 minutes for a 9×5 inch loaf pan).
    7. When it’s done baking the top should feel slightly firm to the touch and an inserted toothpick should come out clean. 

    I do not bake. I grew my own Pie Pumpkins successfully over summer. Your recipe is SO simple and delicious that I am baking to give as Christmas gifts to my special people! Thank you ! Cheers!

    Pumpkin Bread Tips

    • Use 100% canned pumpkin and only 1 cup of it, not the whole can.
    • Look in the bulk section of your local grocery store for pumpkin seeds. This way, you can buy the exact amount you need.
    • This recipe is a quick bread, meaning, you mix your wet and dry ingredients separately and then mix them together. You don’t want to mix a quick bread too much, just long enough to get the lumps out.
    • Test the bread by poking the center with a toothpick to see if it’s done baking. If it is, the toothpick will come out clean.

    Starbucks Pumpkin Bread Recipe FAQs

    Should I refrigerate Pumpkin Bread?

    You do not need to refrigerate it, but it will last longer if you do. Store your freshly baked Starbucks pumpkin loaf at room temperature or in the refrigerator, covered with foil or plastic wrap, and placed in a plastic bag so it doesn’t dry out.

    How long does homemade Pumpkin Bread last?

    It will last for 2 days at room temperature or up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

    Can I freeze Pumpkin Bread?

    Yes, you can freeze it! If you’re making pumpkin bread for gifting or know you’re going to want more later (and trust me, you will), you can make batches ahead of time and freeze them. I always make double batches and freeze one for later!
    After baking, allow to cool completely.
    Wrap the whole loaf in foil and slide it into a plastic bag. Push out the air. You can also slice it after cooling, and wrap each individual slice with plastic wrap.
    Label with the freezing date and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
    To thaw, remove from the freezer and allow it to sit, wrapped, at room temperature overnight. Individual slices of frozen pumpkin bread can be warmed up in the microwave for 15 seconds.

    Since pandemic hit I haven’t been to Starbucks for my pumpkin bread fix. I tried this recipe for the first time for Thanksgiving and we loved it! Instructions were simple and ingredients are all very easy to find. Most importantly, it was SO GOOD

    Mini Starbucks Pumpkin Loaves

    This pumpkin bread recipe is amazing! The pumpkin and spice is not overwhelming, it is nice and fluffy on the inside, and has a lovely texture. It didn’t need it at all, but I sprinkled a little bit of sugar over the top of the batter, before putting it into the oven, for a bit of crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

    Notes

    • Make sure to use 100% canned pumpkin puree. 
    • Use only 1 cup of pumpkin puree, not a full can.
    • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, & ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
    • You don’t want to mix a quick bread too much, you want to mix it just long enough to get the lumps out.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container. This loaf freezes well. Thaw in the fridge overnight. 
    • I baked mine in a 8×4 inch loaf pan, or you can use a 9×5 inch loaf pan . Baking times will vary between ovens – but it’ll bake for about 50-60 minutes in an 8×4 inch pan, or about 45-55 minutes in a large loaf pan. When it’s done, it should feel firm to the touch at the top and an inserted toothpick should come out clean.
    • You can also make three mini pumpkin loaves by using 5.75×3″ mini pans. Baking time for mini loaf pans is approximately 30-35 minutes

      This turned out as pretty as the picture and tasting delicious.
      I did substitute apple sauce for the oil using like amounts. It got rid of all those calories and tasted no different. It was delicious.

      Can this be made in muffin tins or mini loaf pans? Just wondering how that might affect baking time

        September 17, 2020 at 10:24 am

        Hi there, Michaela! Yes, it can be made in both! For mini loaf pans, we recommend cutting the bake time in half. Our pumpkin bread should bake in about 20-30 minutes as mini loaves. As for a muffin tin, we recommend the same time as the mini loaves. Just keep an eye on them and use a toothpick to determine whether they’re done or not. We would love to hear what you think after you’ve made them! Thank you for your question!
