Pumpkin and Coffee might not be a combination that tops your list but I’m about to change your mind with this recipe.
What I like most about this recipe is that it welcomes instant coffee just as warmly as cinnamon or any other spice. It blends in magically with the bread and nutty streusel, and at no point did I find the taste of coffee overwhelming.
Not only is this the perfect morning nibble but baking this is also quite a treat. The whole house smells amazing with the concoction of warm spices and strong coffee. The only change I’d make next time I bake this would be to add a cup of chocolate chips.
A blend of pumpkin, traditional fall spices and espresso into a soft tender loaf topped with crunchy brown sugar and hazelnut streusel.
- ¾ cup (150 grams) brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup (245 grams) canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup (118 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (59 ml) milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup hazelnut, chopped roughly
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350F and generously grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients until well combined and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, espresso powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pumpkin, oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture and spread the batter evenly into prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the espresso topping evenly over the pumpkin batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
This month’s challenge for #twelveloaves was to use a nut or grain or seeds in a bread. Head over to Lora, Barbara or Jamie’s post to see what the other bakers are baking this month.

If pumpkin and chocolate go well together than it stands to reason that pumpkin and coffee would as well. It sure looks good!

Pumpkin and Coffee are a great combo – hello Pumpkin Spice Latte right? This sounds so tasty and like a perfect breakfast treat!

Wow! You weren’t kidding when you said you had another great pumpkin bread recipe planned for Friday! This bread is on my list for this weekend, without a doubt. Meanwhile, I’ve got two more loaves of the pumpkin cream cheese bread w almond streusel in the oven now to take to my hairdresser this afternoon! Thanks again!
You always come up with the most enticing concoctions! I love all about this one, although I might have to use walnuts instead of hazelnuts on the top, just because I have a bag in the freezer bagging to be consumed ;-)
I am pinning this right away….
I love this bread for breakfast. There is so much pumpkin flesh with me and I need more ideas to whip something nice with it. Love the addition of coffee. I am going to try this for sure.
I never had pumpkin bread with espresso, but it sounds great. I love that you used cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in your bread. I love these spices, because they remind me of ginger bread cookies from Germany. :-)
