Pumpkin Loaf
Fall seems to signal all the cozy goodness with soups, breads, and a cup of coffee with a slice of pumpkin loaf is no exception. I find making a loaf to be one of the easiest treats so typically once a week I find myself whipping together one with whatever ingredients I have on hand from banana, lemon, zucchini or apple. This week I went for a recipe that just has to be shared, it’s a copycat Starbucks pumpkin loaf and it’s honestly incredible!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 2/3 cups flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup almond milk or water
- 1/3 cup pepitas, for topping
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
- In a medium size bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add eggs, pumpkin puree, almond milk and mix well.
- Slowly add in dry ingredients and stir until just blended.
- Pour into loaf pan.
- Top with pepitas.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
This may be a Starbucks copycat recipe but in my opinion it’s actually even better! Enjoy!!
