The Best Pumpkin Bread

subheading: You’ll need a few baking ingredients on hand to make this pumpkin bread. You probably already have most of them already, so you’ll likely only need to pick up a few things:

All purpose flour

Pumpkin spice - recipe listed below to make your own DIY pumpkin spice!

Baking soda

Salt

Pumpkin - make sure it is pure pumpkin puree, not the pumpkin pie filling

Granulated sugar

Brown sugar

Large eggs

Vegetable oil - you could use canola oil if you prefer or have it on hand, I’d avoid olive oil though because it often has a very strong flavor that may come through in the pumpkin bread

Vanilla extract - pure is my preferred, but you can use artificial vanilla if you have that on hand

subheading: WHAT ARE PEPITAS?:

Pepitas are pumpkin seeds that don’t require shelling - they grow inside certain pumpkins this way. Pepitas are smaller than traditional pumpkin seeds we are used to seeing inside pumpkins and they are green versus the traditional off-white color.

They are a great source of healthy fats and fatty acids and make a great snack. And if you like a little crunch on top of your bread, they are a great addition to this pumpkin bread to make it an exact copycat for Starbucks’ Pumpkin Bread!

subheading: PUMPKIN PIE SPICE VS CINNAMON?:

subheading: You can use pumpkin pie spice or just cinnamon in this recipe. Either way is delicious! If you do not have Pumpkin Spice on hand, but would like to make it, below is a simple recipe:
