Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 50 g Brown Sugar
  • 79 ml Vegetable Oil or canola oil
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 79 ml Buttermilk or homemade with vinegar and milk
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1.5 cups Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups about 25 miniatures

Instructions

Directions:

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, and buttermilk; mix until incorporated.
  • Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
  • Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  • Step 5: Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  • Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Step 7: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
