Starbucks Copycat Pumpkin Bread

Sweetbreads are a family favorite in this household. And pumpkin bread is no exception. I can make pumpkin bread changes in a variety of ways. Served plain, either warmed up slightly or at room temperature. It has enough flavor to slice and eat. Serving this sweet bread like this makes it a great breakfast treat with your tasty coffee, almost like a coffee cake. I know full well that if this bread is left out on my kitchen countertop, then it will be slowly eaten throughout the day by all sorts of people.

Sweetening this delightful recipe is also a great way to enjoy this pumpkin bread as more of a dessert. A cinnamon and brown sugar streusel topping can be baked on top. In addition, after it has cooled, I can spread a sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting on top. A cinnamon cream cheese frosting would also go great with this pumpkin bread.

Cost to make this recipe

Adding up all the cost of the ingredients, I came up with two pumpkin bread loaves costing $7.39 or $3.70 per loaf. I can cut eight thick slices from each loaf, and that comes to about $0.46 per serving slice.

Fall time is the best time for baking this bread. Pumpkins are in season and typically are grown on this homestead along with raising my chicken eggs and making my vanilla extract. My homesteader price is about $3.05 for two loaves, or $1.53 per loaf and $0.19 per serving slice.
