Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Bread Tips

Why does my pumpkin bread sink in the middle?

If your pumpkin bread is sinking in the middle, that means you could've let the batter stand for too long before baking or it's underdone. Here's how to fix undercooked bread if you're stuck with a sinking middle.

Can you make dairy-free pumpkin bread?

Yes, you can make it dairy-free! Here's our favorite dairy-free pumpkin bread recipe to follow.

How do you store pumpkin bread?

To store pumpkin bread (and keep it ultra moist), wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. It'll keep for up to a week. If you'd like to enjoy it for even longer, you can freeze pumpkin bread for up to three months.

What else can I add to pumpkin bread?

Numerous mix-ins work well with pumpkin bread. We recommend adding chocolate chips (like in this chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe) or nuts and fruit (like in this cranberry pumpkin bread recipe). Check out these other pumpkin bread ideas for inspiration.
