Starbucks® Pumpkin Bread

By far the best pumpkin loaf recipe I've made on the site so far. Not overly sweet, moist and just the right density for a perfect loaf. Rather than use the individual spices (I was missing a few), I used 4+ teaspoons of Pumpkin Spice and added an extra teaspoon of cinnamon because my husband is a cinnamon fiend. Will definitely be adding this one to my regular rotation.

I love this bread but I did make 2 modifications. I increased pumpkin to 1 cup and decreased oil to 1/2 cup. It came out much less greasy and more pumpkin-ey. I also added a pecan/Brown sugar/ oat /butter streusal on the top to add crunch. Yummy!

I have to confess, I've never had Starbucks® Pumpkin Bread, but this one is very good. Similar to the Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread recipe on this site, but a LOT less sugar. I did make two adjustments to this recipe. I cut the cloves down to 1/2 tsp, as I thought 1 tsp would have been too much, as cloves can be pretty powerful. I also needed to add a bit more flour, as the batter was way too loose. I made two loaves (7" x 3" pans) and baked for exactly 47 minutes. A nice, moist, and flavorful pumpkin bread. Thanks for the recipe!

With the exception of adding roasted pumpkin seeds on top, I made this exactly as written. Good: moist, rises well, tender crumb Not so great: too much clove. If I made this again, I'd adjust the spices to 1 tsp nutmeg, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, .5 tsp clove

Really good and tastes a lot like the Sbx Pumpkin Loaf. I made a few modifications. Put in cocnut oil instead of vegetable oil only put in half the brown sugar and white sugar. It was fantastic.

I tried two other pumpkin bread recipes and they just didn't do it for me. Yet, apparently, third time IS the charm because this one's IT! I wouldn't say it's exactly SB flavored, but it's definitely extremely close. Im only removing one star because I would do slightly less sugar (I have the opposite of a sweet tooth) and maybe throw in some pumpkin spice to make it even more flavorful. Either way, it's an EXCELLENT recipe.

I thougt this was good. I used pumpkin spice and the only addition I made was to sprinkle 1/2 cup of toasted pumpkin seeds over the top.

This came out delicious and was surprisingly simple to make! I, however, added crushed walnuts on top, before cooking, for a delightful crunch.

My dairy free son is obsessed with Starbucks Pumpkin Loaf. When I can't get him to eat anything it's our go to treat. I made this for him today and he has already eaten 2 slices.

I made this today. Perfect for a rainy day dessert. I should have checked it at 1 hour because it got slightly dark and a tad dry. I will make it again because it was delicious otherwise.

This is the best recipe on this site.So good and so true to Starbucks version. I used 1tbsp pumpkin pie spice. I also used brown sugar instead of White. I think it’s better with the brown sugar. Fabulously moist and tender. Will definitely be making again.

I added all spice to the listed ingredients as well. This bread is one of the best pumpkin breads I have made. Will definitely make it again.

Perfect pumpkin bread recipe. Followed exactly as it read. Took longer to bake in my glass pan than in the metal. Thanks for sharing!

This is delicious and very moist. My kids love it and yes, it tastes like the bread at Starbucks. I prefer less of the clove taste though and will reduce it to about 1/2 in the future.

I am allergic to eggs so I used Egg Replacers. It probably didn't bake up quite as high and light as it would have with eggs but it tasted delicious and as I am also allergic to milk products this recipe works for me.

This is my new favorite pumpkin bread recipe. It’s moist and flavorful. Absolutely delish!

This was delicious! Prior to baking, I topped mine with pepitas to make a crunchy top. Came together quick, made house smell great while baked, and taste great. Make it!

I shared it and ended up making loaves for others because they enjoyed it so much. It truly is a wonderful recipe to make. Make extra and share, your friends will love you for it.

I made it yesterday and let me tell you. It taste amazing!!!! Great recipe

Yum! This was good! Tastes just like the original, maybe even better ;-) Mine did not need the 70 minutes, after 1 hour it was done.

Made exactly as shown. Only thing was 1tsp cloves were too strong for our taste but It was super delicious and my 4 year old ate 2 slices. Made it twice this week but 2nd time I cut cloves to 1/2tsp.

I’ve been using this recipe for a couple of years now. Excellent density, moistness and not too sweet. Great topped with whipped cream cheese, or not.

I made this as muffins instead of bread and it turned out great. Will definitely make again!

I used sweet potato instead of pumpkin. The bread came out perfect. It was definitely a hit at my family brunch. I was a bit worried about the spices since I was using sweet potatoes but it worked. Excellent!

Best pumpkin bread!

No changes and yes, I will make it again.

This is GREAT bread! I used 1 cup fresh pumpkin puree and 1/2 cup oil. I had pumpkin puree to use up and it's liquidity so that's all I changed. I found the clove to be just right. I changed nothing else. I was worried at how runny the batter was, but it came out perfect at 60 minutes.

Very delicious. I added half the amount of cloves, but kept everything else the same. Very moist

Best pumpkin bread!

added walnut pieces and chocolate chips- delish!

Followed recipe as it appears. I did use a baking spice from Savory Spice, which has a pungent collection of spices. The pumpkin bread was great. My husband is not a great fan of pumpkin, but loved this bread. Will make it often.

I definitely will make it again and again. Great recipe. I personally like it to be less oily so I used 1/2 oil and 1/2 melted butter the second time I baked this . Worked great. I also added a tat of cardamon just because I got it in my pantry and want to use it before it gets old. But all this is not necessary as the basic recipe is great.

I used allspice instead of cloves because there was none near me but it came out very moist and tasty. Definitely will make again but with nuts on top for an added texture.

Bomb digity.

Delicious and addictive! I substituted 3 1/2 t. pumpkin spice plus an extra 1/2 t. cinnamon because I'm not crazy about a strong clove flavor. I also used 3/4 C white sugar and 1/4 C brown sugar to cut down on the sugar. You won't miss the extra sugar a bit especially if you make the basic cream cheese frosting on the all-recipes website. Everyone that tastes it asks for the recipe ! Moist and about as perfect a pumpkin bread as you can find. It does taste similar to Everything Bunt Cakes pumpkin cake if you've tasted that.

I didn't care for this recipe. The amount of ground cloves and oil was too overpowering and made it greasy for my taste.

Good flavor, but I would not compare it to Starbucks. It was not very moist.

Mine was done at 65 minutes. Tasty and moist. I put the full amount of cloves and it wasn't too much. My family loved it.

I added 1 tsp of ground ginger and an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the recipe. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.

This was a good recipe. I like that it's low sugar and I liked the swirl of cinnamon on top. I added nuts to the top too. My kids would prefer more sugar of course. My husband wanted more spices. But it's a good compromise. I made it with GF flours, brown rice, chickpea, almond meal, and some Bob's. Will make it again. I would like it to be a little more dense next time. I agree with those that thought it needed more pumpkin, maybe some oil or butter?

It's delicious!!!!! I'm making it again.

I loved this. The only changes I made was to use 1/2 C applesauce in place of half of the oil, and 1 C of wheat flour. I also added pecans. Really delicious and the smell!!!! So good.

Deliciously spot-on! My family loved it and I’ll be making it again and again throughout the holidays!

I live in Brazil, then I used butternut pumpkin to made a puree.

Cloves were too strong maybe il try lesser amount mext time

This was just like the Starbucks pumpkin bread! Very easy to make and delicious! I used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar (same amount) and cut ground cloves amount in half, increased cinnamon to heaping tsp. REALLY REALLY AMAZING!

Very moist and delicious! Will make again.

the Pumpkin Bread is awesome. Soft and flavor.

This was very much like Starbucks pumpkin bread. Super moist and delicious!!

I used allspice because I didnt have ground cloves. Starbucks Pumpkin bread is my favorite and this recipe was very good. I'm happy.

This bread is very tasty but it does not compare to Starbucks pumpkin bread. This taste more like spice bread than pumpkin. I would add more pumpkin than it says. Overall a good bread just needs more pumpkin flavor.

This bread was super dry, not dense and chewy like the Starbucks ones. I'll probably use a different recipie next time

Made as written except skipped cloves as did not have and added walnuts to the batter. Very good. Not super sweet which I like. Will make again.

I make this frequently for my grandchildren. Today, I substituted whole wheat pastry flour, cut the white sugar by a third, and added about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of smooth almond butter, just to give it a nutritional boost. I also doubled the amounts for the spices. The results are very good.

next time I will probably use a little less surgar otherwise awesome

Made this today hoping to have some for tomorrow morning. I didn't even get to take a picture before everyone wanted a slice ! I didn't pit any icing on it and it didn't need it. It was still warm enough that all it neede was a little butter. I'll be making this again while people are home off work. Hope I get more than one slice!

Only change I made was 3/4 cup of white sugar instead of a whole cup. Have to admit, I don't know what Starbuck's pumpkin loaf is like, but this tasted very good and didn't last long.

I made this bread and it is Very Mouthwatering!! It's very Dense & Moist. The spice isn't to much for me, its just right. To prevent sticking i used Cisco shortening and flour. The Best bread i tried!

I used 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/4 veg. oil instead of all veg. oil. I also cut the cloves to 1/2 tsp and upped the cinnamon to 1-1/2 tsp. Cut the white sugar to 3/4 cup and used 1/4 cup coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. Threw a few walnuts on top. Very good! Will make again.

Well even though it was good bread it tastes nothing like Starbucks pumpkin bread. Also wish it would've tasted more pumpkin. But came out very moist.

This was really good. I used fresh (cooked and pureed) pumpkin, and I probably added a little extra, which wasn't a problem. I doubled the recipe and made three smaller loaves (still not very small), so I cut a few minutes from the baking time. My husband, kids, mom, brother, sister, etc., all loved it. Thanks!

This tastes exactly like the Pumpkin Bread you can purchase at a Starbucks Store.

Half the white sugar, half the clove, added more cinnamon.

Delicious! Made one yesterday, just about to make another. I changed nothing.

Delicious! Will definitely make this recipe again.

I too reduced cloves from 1tsp to 1/2 tsp and increased vanilla from 1/2 to 1 tsp. This pumpkin bread is outstanding! I have probably tried 20 different recipes and this one is best by far!!!

Easy moist. Used 5 spice to replace the various spices and full can of pumpkin filling. Came out perfectly.

I followed the recipe as it was given. Turned out great. Very flavourful. I served it with whipped cream cheese on top. Gots lots of compliments.

Although tasty, this pumpkin bread was quite dense, as described. My preference is for a lighter, yet still moist pumpkin bread, so I do not think I will be making this recipe again.

I’ve made this recipe 3 times now! For a more moist consistency, I hand-mixed all the liquids and did a final mix before putting it in my baking dish!

Very good but not enough pumpkin

I love this recipe, it is a little denser than the Starbucks one, but still really good!

Wow. This is the best pumpkin loaf ever. So moist and delicious. Rave reviews from hubby with this recipe.

This bread has become a instant classic in my family. Not too sweet it's just right. I made the addition of raisins and candied walnuts and it's absolutely delicious! I am going to make it again....soon!

It was delicious and a very easy to follow recipe. Thanks!

This was really good pumpkin bread. Amazing, not really, but will be my go to recipe until I either find a better one or tweak this one. I only made one substitution: coconut oil for the vegetable oil. I felt like the cloves overpowered a bit and not enough pumpkin flavor came out. Very moist and perfectly sweetened though!

No changes. It’s perfect.

not my favorite. the spices made it taste super strong. Not sure if it’s the nutmeg or the cloves but one (or both) are really overpowering.

I loved it and I added a little bit of more pumpkin. I also added pumpkin seeds on top.

Excellent! Lovely spicy flavor. Made exactly according to directions but threw some chopped walnuts in at the end. Will definitely make again. Mine was ready in 55 minutes.

I made this and its fabulous. Moist and full of lots of flavor. I'm never sorry about using these recipes. Yummy ??

added some pumpkin-spice flavouring spice as well. makes it extra festive.

This bread was amazing I love the Starbucks Pumpkin Bread and this is very close to it! Those that said it was dry must’ve over baked it! I followed the recipe exactly and even added the toasted pumpkin seeds on top and it was super moist and delicious! Everyone enjoyed it and I will be my new go-to recipe for pumpkin bread! Thanks!
