Enjoy a moist, coffee-shop style pumpkin quick bread with warm spices. This easy, one-bowl recipe is perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: Cream cheese swirl (4 oz cream cheese, softened, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg yolk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin puree until smooth.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. If making the cream cheese swirl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg yolk. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin batter and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • You can freeze cooled pumpkin bread, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and then foil, for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
  • For a Starbucks copycat flavor, add a touch more cinnamon and a pinch of cardamom.
