Prep Time: 20

Cook Time: 50

Ingredients:

1 15 oz Pumpkin Puree
4 Eggs
1 cup Extra Light Olive Oil
2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
2/3 cup Water
3/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
3/4 tsp. Ground Ginger
1 1/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
3 cup White Granulated Sugar *or date sugar
3 1/2 cup Organic All-Purpose Flour *you can use gluten free if needed

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour your loaf pans.
This recipe can prepare two loaf pans. Coat each with Butter and then dust lightly with flour until the inside surface is completely covered. Or you can make these into muffins or mini loaf pans and bake.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together puree, eggs, oil, water, and sugar until it is well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
You will then want to stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until it’s blended. Now, pour it into the prepared pans.
Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Check to see if your loaves are ready by inserted a toothpick and if it comes out clean, you’re good to take out. Depending on the strength of your oven, check the pumpkin cake as time passes to be sure it doesn’t over cook!
Once the cake has cooled down, you can keep it plain or add either powdered sugar on top or even a light vanilla icing.

Notes:

Light Vanilla Icing Recipe

Mix together confectioners sugar, milk or heavy cream, and vanilla extract together to a consistency you like and drizzle on top!

What seeds are on top of the pumpkin load at Starbucks?

The seeds on top of Starbucks’ Pumpkin Loaf are crunchy pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds). They’re there to bring that satisfying bite and a touch of festive flair. Here’s why I love them:

Textural contrast: those pepitas add a gentle crunch that pairs beautifully with the soft, spiced loaf.
Visual charm: those little green gems give that final touch of fall aesthetic reminiscent of pumpkin-patch coziness .

So next time you’re savoring a slice, know those are intentional, delicious pepitas, your loaf’s crunchy fall crown. You can put them on top or not, whatever you like!
