1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed

1 cup (240g) pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)

Directions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and Pumpkin Spice Oil Soluble Extract until smooth and well blended.
Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour and Top: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds (if using).
Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Recipe Note
10 FAQs About Starbucks-Style Pumpkin Bread
1. What makes this pumpkin bread taste like Starbucks?
The secret lies in using Pumpkin Spice Oil Soluble Extract, which provides the authentic, aromatic pumpkin spice profile similar to Starbucks’ signature loaf.
2. Can I substitute pumpkin pie filling for pumpkin purée?
No — pumpkin pie filling contains added sugar and spices. Always use pure pumpkin purée for best results.
3. Can I use butter instead of oil?
Yes, but using oil keeps the bread moist longer. Butter will give a richer flavor but slightly denser texture.
4. How should I store pumpkin bread?
Wrap it tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months.
5. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
6. How strong is the pumpkin spice extract flavor?
Oil soluble extracts are potent — start with 1 teaspoon and adjust in future batches according to your preference.
7. Can I add nuts or chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Fold in ½ cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or mini chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
8. Why did my pumpkin bread sink in the middle?
This can happen if it’s underbaked or overmixed. Ensure it bakes fully and mix until ingredients are just combined.
9. Can I make muffins with this batter?
Yes! Divide the batter into a lined muffin pan and bake at 350°F for 22–25 minutes.
10. What pairs best with this pumpkin bread?
It’s perfect with coffee, chai tea, or a Pumpkin Spice Latte for that full Starbucks-style experience at home.
