Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Bread

It is the first day of fall and pumpkin season is fully upon us!

I don’t know about you, but I am not the biggest pumpkin spice latte person. However, I do love just about anything that is a baked good that has pumpkin in it!

Starbucks is infamous for their pumpkin spice lattes, but did you know there are other pumpkin goodies that the coffee chain offers? One of their products on their fall menu is a pumpkin bread.

This perfectly spiced bread is like a pumpkin bread and a pumpkin pound cake had a glorious baby that goes perfect with a good ole cup of Joe.
