baked starbucks pumpkin copycat loaf

Skip the coffee shop, and bake this heavenly pumpkin loaf at home!

I’m so happy to have a recipe just like the Starbucks version. To be sure, today I bought a slice of theirs and made my own at home. The verdict, this copycat version is definitely super close and really yummy! My family LOVED it.

The texture and sweetness reminds me of soft banana bread, but a pumpkin version. The pumpkin seeds taste awesome on top too! What a perfect fall treat. Enjoy!

  2. Sally

    Thank you sooo much!!! This is my fave!!! 🙂

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Oh yay! I know it’s so good. 🎃👏

  3. Jessica

    Lina, you may be just the person to ask. Do you know of any awesome cream cheese croissant recipes? I would love to hear any suggestions. Thanks.

  4. Emily

    Yay for dairy free!!! I am going to sub in all purpose gf flour to have a treat that my son can actually enjoy on his GFCF diet!

    • Melissa

      If you get a chance (not trying to sales pitch you here!), check out my shop on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheBuffPastryShop I sell all sorts of healthy, sugar free, gluten free, vegan (no dairy) goodies! I just know how hard it can be finding tasty treats to accommodate special diets! 🙂

      • Kristi S

        what’s you’re etsy shop name? (if it’s allowed). The link is broken, but I have a few friends that are on special diets and would like to browse!

  5. vanessa

    I have this baking in the oven now! Thank you for sharing this recipe, I’m very excited to have a less costly version of Starbucks pumpkin loaf!!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Oh good! I know so am I 😀

  6. Kitty

    How long would you bake if you make muffins instead?

    • burgys

      I would just stick a toothpick in once in a while until it will come out clean, then you know it’s done.

  7. Love

    😱😱😱This Pumpkin Bread looks AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! 😋😋😋

    Thank you for the recipe cant wait to try it! 🎃

    – Love from http://www.munchkintime.com

  8. Liz

    Can anyone recommend a good lemon loaf recipe like the ones in Starbucks? Thanks in advance….love all u H2Savers

    • S

      PLEASE 😍

    • Heather C

      I’m with her 😜

    • ava21

      I’m obsessed with the lemon loaf as well. It would be nice to have a copycat recipe that has already been tested!

  9. Dawn

    Does anyone know when the canned pumpkin will be on sale anywhere? Or a coupon out there? It my area, it’s about $1.92 a can at Target.

    • J.J.

      They usually have deals and coupons around thanksgiving.

    • Friend

      If you shop at Costco they have a 3 pack of 29-oz cans for $6.99

      • Dawn

        I actually just asked Costco the other day about canned pumpkin being in-stock… and they said closer to thanksgiving…really? But it’s okay to have the Christmas trees out already, lol

        • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

          Oh too funny and also frustrating. I couldn’t find pumpkin in my area last month at any store so ordered on Amazon. 😁

    • Helen in Meridian

      Ridleys Family Market has the 15 oz can 2/$1.00. Not Libbys but good pumpkin puree.

    • Gerald Want

      I am the “pie-man” for the Holidays, sometimes making pies in exchange for other services from farmer friends. I have even planted my own pumpkins. It used to be you could buy pumpkins in grocery stores for Thanksgiving, but no more. I have to get the pumpkins for Halloween and pressure-can them for use later on. Believe me, the pumpkin is so much better canned than frozen. I’d love to share some receipes ! JERRY in Anthony, NM

    • queen62

      Try Aldi or the local store brand with one ingredient pumpkin

  10. Carol_R

    Thanks Lina! It looks great. I’ll have to try it.

  11. Sophie

    This looks sooo good. I just had a piece from Starbucks this week and I always eat it with cream cheese. Delicious, but expensive. I’ll have to make this instead! This might inspire me to break out my copy cat pumpkin cream cheese muffin recipe and make them at the same time!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Sounds yummy! Thanks Sophie!

  12. Ihearthip

    Got this in the oven right now and it smells wonderful 😊hoping it will taste good as I had to do some substitutions

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Oh good! Enjoy 😀

  13. dana mercer

    Still have a bottle of Vodka hiding in my closet ( we are not drinkers–although some days I just stare at it wondering!?!?) from a past post on making your own vanilla. Made it once and it WAS really good. However, them beans are sooooo expensive. Any suggestions as to the best place to purchase?

    • shop4mybabies

      usually, around this time of year…or a bit closer to thanksgiving, costco will have the vanilla beans…you are right they are expensive…maybe trader joes?

  14. ginagrotz

    I have everything to make this but the pumpkin seeds! Can’t decide to make without or drag myself to the store:(

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      I think it’d still be wonderful 👍🏻

  15. ginagrotz

    Made it without the pumpkin seeds, but learned the 15 oz can of Libbys make 2 breads, without any waste.

    • Deb

      Did you double the recipe or just add the whole can and divide between 2 loaf pans?

  16. Sue W

    This looks good. Last year I made the gluten free pumpkin bundt cake you posted and it was a hit with those who needed gluten free and those that didn’t. It is moist and yummy. I hope you’ll post it again.

    • Vickie M Garcia

      I too would love for them to post this receipe as well. 🤗🙂💗

  17. Vickie M Garcia

    I would love for you to share some pumpkin recipes. I love anything that is pumpkin.🤗😉💗

  18. Hanh

    My picky 8-year old son said it was better than Starbucks pumpkin bread! I’m packing them for lunch as muffins. Thank you so much for saving me money!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh my goodness! I’m so happy it worked out! 👏

  19. patricialavenz-goff

    Never been to Starbucks but this looks delicious. Yum.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’ll LOVE it! Thanks so much.

  20. Michelle

    Just to clarify, it is really 4 eggs in one loaf? That just seems like a lot.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      That’s what I used but feel free to use what you think 👍

  21. Darla

    I would have to double that recipe! 😋

  22. Bonnie

    I am having trouble printing. It just opens a new tab with the same info, won’t just print. What am I doing wrong. Would love to print but might just have to get pen to paper. ugh

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh darn! I am still able to print. Maybe try a different browser. Explorer, on my laptop worked best for me. Hoping that does the trick!

  23. Jackie

    Anyone bake this in a glass loaf dish? I read if using glass vs aluminum to lower temperature by 25 degrees.

  24. Serina

    I used fresh pumpkin (not canned). This recipe is sooo delicious! I will be making this frequently during this holiday season.

  25. Andrea Huston

    So I followed the recipe exactly. Put it in 8.5×4.5 pan and it rose up and over the pan and is now burning on the bottom of my oven.
    HUGE FAIL. I should’ve used a 9 inch pan maybe.
    Also WAY to much nutmeg. 1/2 tsp is PLENTY. That’s a very strong spice.
    I’ve baked a lot and this was a huge disappointment.

  26. Laura

    Baked this several times using GF flour. Family loves it.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh that is so great to hear! Thanks Laura!
