I decided it was important to get in the right frame of mind to write this post. So I've got a loaf of this Better Than Starbucks Pumpkin Bread in the oven. I also purchased a slice of Starbucks Pumpkin Bread to nibble on and just made a cappuccino to sip on. You know, to get in the mood, and to say the right things about this delicious sweet treat. After all, a girl has to be prepared, right?

Pumpkin Bread With Whipped Honey Butter

I've got a lot on my to-do list today, so why would I bother to make another batch of this Better Than Starbucks Pumpkin Bread? Well, first of all, it takes less than 15 minutes to put together... you basically dump everything in a bowl and stir till it's all combined. And then, wait for the intoxicating aroma to waft through your entire house.

I'm starting to smell it now and it's beyond amazing! And if you think I'm spoofing you about how easy it is to throw together, check out this video.

Another reason I decided to make a loaf this morning is that it's not only a fabulous breakfast treat and any time-of-day snack, it can also double as dessert! I love to slice it thick, warm it just a bit in the microwave (10 seconds), top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle this Real Deal Microwave Caramel Sauce or this Ridiculously Easy Butterscotch Sauce over it.

However you serve it, this Better than Starbucks Pumpkin Bread makes an incredible fall-inspired dessert! So you see, in addition to getting in the proper frame of mind to write this post, my morning baking efforts have also reaped dessert for dinner tonight - certainly a win-win!

Why do we call this better than Starbucks? Don't get me wrong, I love Starbucks Pumpkin Bread. It's a delicious treat with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk. But I'm only taking a few nibbles of this piece in front of me because I'm waiting for the loaf in my oven to finish baking. Then I may seriously indulge. Why? I'm glad you asked!

First of all, I think this pumpkin bread has a more tender crumb than the Starbucks version. Check it out in the picture below!

It's also super flavorful with the addition of a generous scoop of pumpkin pie spice (a combination of warm autumn spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves). Extra cinnamon brings out all that wonderful fall flavor.

Starbucks pumpkin bread has a tiny (as in minimal) sprinkle of crushed pepitas (pumpkin seeds) on the top of their loaves. Nice, but not super attractive. I think this bread has a prettier and tastier topping. A handful of pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of honey and a splash of oil are stirred together and then sprinkled on top of the batter before baking. As the bread bakes, this topping takes on a beautiful glaze and crunch. See what I mean? Better than Starbucks Pumpkin Bread!

Another benefit of making this bread yourself is that you can adapt it to your preferences. Don't like or don't have any pepitas on hand? Leave them off or use chopped pecans. You could also simply add a sprinkle of granulated or raw sugar for a sweet, crisp topping.

You can also use different size baking pans. This recipe works well in a 9x5-inch pan, but you can also use 4 smaller pans for mini loaves. No loaf pans? Just bake it in a 9-inch round pan and slice it in half, then crossways into thin rectangular slices.

Okay, one last reason this pumpkin bread is better than Starbucks is - the price! Yikes, if you've purchased anything at Starbucks, you know it's not cheap. A slice of any of their bread is around $3.00. You can easily make a whole loaf of this bread for less than it would cost for two slices at Starbucks!

I tried to hold off on posting a pumpkin recipe on the blog. I still have a summery recipe left that I want to post here before it starts cooling down.

You'll Want To Make This Pumpkin Honey Bread On Repeat

But I was thumbing through Easy Baking from Scratch which just released and came across the honey pumpkin bread and I couldn't resist. Actually, I was torn between the sugar and spice scones and the pumpkin bread so I asked which I should make first on Insta and most people wanted the pumpkin bread.

At first, I admit, I was a little nervous about the recipe as it calls for a decent amount of sugar, plus the honey. I didn't know if the balance between the two would be there without making the bread overly sweet. And instead of ginger on the list of ingredients, there was lemon extract. That was so new to me.

Unfortunately, I didn't even have lemon extract around and wasn't able to pick any up, so I sadly didn't even get a chance to see how it tasted with the lemon. After tasting the finished product, I think it would have been a good addition.

If I'm completely honest, I think this might be one of my favorite base recipes for pumpkin bread. It's sturdy, but still light with a beautiful crumb. It's wonderfully moist and packed with flavor.

I can easily picture myself making this bread again and adding chocolate chips. Or adding pepitas to the top. Instead of the sugar-dusted on top, a maple cinnamon glaze would also be good. It's one of those recipes that's amazing on its own and as a blank canvas for your creativity to shine.

When I have a bite of this honey pumpkin bread, all I can think of is waiting for a crisp fall morning in a fluffy sweater with a slice or two of toasted bread topped with a touch of butter and whipped cream and a hot mug of coffee or, more likely, hot chocolate.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

It's just so quintessentially fall without being cliche since it doesn't have that expected pumpkin spice flavor. It's pumpkin and simple, but far from basic.

Pumpkin bread tends to be moister than other quick breads because of the high moisture content within the pumpkin puree. The color of the bread is already a nice golden color and is prone to becoming quite dark quickly (I recommend placing aluminum foil over your bread while baking if it starts looking

There are a few ways to tell your pumpkin bread is done. The most common way to know that your bread is fully finished is to use a toothpick to test the middle. The toothpick should come out either with only a few crumbs clinging to it, or it will come out clean.

If you love accuracy, you can also use a thermometer. The middle of the bread should read 190 degrees F or 88 degrees C.
