Pumpkin Spice Loaf

Step back Starbucks, there is a new PSL in town…and it’s this tasty Pumpkin Spice LOAF.  This loaf is one of my favorite fall recipes. Who am I kidding, it’s one of my favorite recipes ever! There is a reason I buy my Libby’s pumpkin at Costco. Gotta stock up, baby. I make this loaf all year round.

It tastes like the pumpkin loaf from Starbucks (only better of course!).  Soft and fluffy with a little bit of a cake like crust, plenty of cinnamon spice and a whole lot of everything nice! It’s like a cuddly, warm fall hug in your mouth.

This recipe makes two full size loaves. So you can make yourself a loaf and bake up some of these adorable little mini loaves to share with your friends if you are feeling generous. (But I won’t tell you want to hoard it all to yourself. I understand. It’s THAT good.)

Pair this pumpkin spice loaf with a homemade pumpkin spice latte for a match made in pumpkin heaven! Best. Breakfast. Ever. Make your own Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup (made with REAL pumpkin) and enjoy another Starbucks copy-cat treat at home. Or try this creamy coconut pumpkin spice creamer. All this pumpkiny breakfast goodness and you don’t even need to get out of your jammies.  You’re welcome.
