Starbucks Pumpkin Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - ½ cup light brown sugar
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - ½ cup pumpkin puree
04 - 3 eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - ⅔ cup vegetable oil
07 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
09 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1 pinch salt
11 - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

→ Topping

12 - 1 tablespoon honey
13 - 3 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan generously with nonstick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, and pumpkin puree until smooth and blended well.
03 - Add both sugars along with the vanilla. Mix everything until you’ve got a smooth blend.
04 - Take another bowl and whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt together.
05 - Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones, gently using a spatula or whisk. Avoid over-mixing here.
06 - Stir pepitas and honey in a small bowl so they’re lightly coated. Set aside.
07 - Pour your batter into the loaf pan and spread out evenly. Scatter the honey-coated pepitas over the top for extra crunch.
08 - Bake for 55-60 minutes. Check it around 55 minutes by sticking a toothpick in the middle. If it’s clean or has just a crumb or two, it’s done.
09 - Let your loaf sit on a wire rack until it’s cool. This helps it firm up so you can slice it cleanly.
