Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, coconut sugar, eggs, olive oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix just until combined. Don’t overmix!
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with pepitas.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Flour options: All-purpose flour gives the classic Starbucks texture. Whole wheat pastry flour also works if you want more fiber without losing tenderness.
  • Sweetener swaps: Coconut sugar keeps this bread naturally sweetened, but brown sugar or even cane sugar can be used.
  • Oil choices: Olive oil adds moisture and a tender crumb. Avocado oil or melted coconut oil also work well.
  • Check early: Ovens vary, so start checking for doneness at 50 minutes. Cover loosely with foil if the top starts to brown too much.
  • Storage: Store covered at room temp for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
