Better Than Starbucks One-Bowl Pumpkin Bread
Description
Better Than Starbucks One-Bowl Pumpkin Bread brings together pumpkin puree, a mixture of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, sugars, and mild-flavored oil to create a soft and moist sweet bread. The batter is mixed in one bowl for simplicity and includes both baking soda and powder to leaven the loaf. A topping of honey-coated pumpkin seeds adds texture and a complementary flavor contrast when sprinkled over the batter before baking.
The bread bakes in a 9x5-inch loaf pan at 350ºF for nearly an hour until set and golden. This produces a tender crumb with warm autumn spices prominent throughout. It can be served sliced on its own or with butter for a cozy treat.
For best results, smooth the batter evenly in the pan and scatter the topping to ensure an even crunch. Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven, checking for a toothpick to come out clean. This recipe yields a seasonally spiced loaf that highlights pumpkin and spices well without being overly sweet.
Ingredients
For the bread:
- 3 egg large
- 1½ cups pumpkin puree
- ⅔ cup sunflower oil or any mild-flavored oil
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
For the topping:
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds aka pepitas
- 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon sunflower oil or any mild-flavored oil
Instructions
For the bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan (see the Café Tips above in the post for using other size pans) with baking spray. Set aside. Line a sheet pan with foil. Set aside.
- Place eggs in a medium-large bowl and whisk well.
- Add pumpkin and whisk until smooth. Add the oil, white and brown sugars and vanilla. Mix until nice and smooth.
- Sprinkle the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt over the pumpkin mixture and mix until well combined.
- Add the flour and stir just until the flour has disappeared and no large lumps remain.
For the topping:
- Combine pumpkin seeds (pepitas), honey and oil and stir to combine. To make mixing easier, you can pop the pepita mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to thin out the honey. Set mixture aside.
To bake:
- Transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth the top and scatter the pumpkin seed mixture over the top. Place on the prepared sheet pan and bake for 55-65 minutes. Check the bread after 40-45 minutes and if the top seems to be getting brown, pull the foil up around the sides of the pan and loosely over the top. Return to the oven and finish baking, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or the internal temperature is 195-205˚F when checked with an instant thermometer (the best way to determine doneness).
- For the smaller pans (see Café Tips above) you'll only need to bake for 25-30 minutes but again, the best way to determine doneness is with an instant thermometer).
- Cool for 20 minutes, then slide out of the pan and transfer to a cool rack. Cool completely before slicing (if you can wait!).
Notes
- Use a 9x5-inch loaf pan for the best shape and baking results.
- To spread the pumpkin seed topping easily, warm the honey briefly to thin it before mixing.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- This bread can be stored wrapped at room temperature for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
