Festive baked goods and seasonal coffee are two of the most fun parts of fall food. Since the earthy, warm flavors of pumpkin spice combine so well with coffee in pumpkin spice lattes, I thought, why not combine those flavors in a fluffy and moist quick bread? This Pumpkin Spice Latte Bread is made up of a classic spiced pumpkin loaf, drizzled with rich and nutty espresso glaze. Using both brewed espresso and instant espresso powder intensifies the coffee flavor of the glaze, while cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger infuse the bread with fall spice. It’s perfect for a morning snack, sweet lunch, or autumn dessert. Best of all? This pumpkin spice latte bread couldn’t be simpler to prepare. So, go ahead and turn a classic fall drink into a fun, new snack.
The pumpkin spice bread has all the classic quick bread components: flour, butter, baking soda, baking powder, and egg. The fall flavor is kicked up through warm spices and sweet, smooth pumpkin puree. Because this recipe only uses one cup of pumpkin, it’s perfect for using up extra pumpkin you might have after opening a whole can.
And this espresso glaze? Couldn’t be easier to make. Although it is particularly fantastic drizzled over the spiced pumpkin loaf, this glaze would also be great as a dip for french toast sticks, a donut glaze, drizzled over pancakes, or swirled over muffins. Anything you like eating with coffee, would be delicious topped with this glaze.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Bread
Ingredients
Espresso Glaze
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
- ½ tbsp instant espresso powder
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Pumpkin Spice Bread
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 6 tbsp salted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
Espresso Glaze
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, espresso, espresso powder, salt, and vanilla extract until a glaze forms. If the glaze is too thick, add a little milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. If the glaze is too thin, whisk in more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Pumpkin Spice Bread
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
- In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Whisk in the egg until completely smooth. Stir in the pumpkin.
- Whisk the flour mixture into the wet ingredients about ¼ cup at a time, until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- When the bread is finished baking, allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely, about 2 hours, before glazing.
- When the bread is cool, drizzle the espresso glaze over the top until covered.
- Allow the glaze to set at least 30 minutes. Slice and serve.

Glad to hear that Shirlee!
I am so going to try this out! Quick question though… For the Pumpkin Spice Bread Part, salt is not listed as an ingredient. Yet in step 2, it says add salt. If there is salt, how much should we add?
Good catch! I’ll go ahead and fix that, thanks! There should be 1/2 tsp salt in the bread!
