Pumpkin bread is the perfect fall treat for breakfast or an on-the-go snack. It's rich, spiced flavor is elevated by the earthy notes of Matcha.
The spice blend of cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon or "pumpkin spice" is a traditional spice mix used in pastry and baking for centuries.
It's a cozy and inviting combination that evokes memories of family gatherings and pumpkin patches and apple picking.
The key to a good pumpkin bread is moisture and a balance of sweetness.
Unlike a traditional pumpkin bread, Matcha pumpkin bread highlights the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and enhances the cinnamon and ginger notes in the pumpkin spice.
If you're looking to enhance your pumpkin bread with nutrients and antioxidants, Matcha is the perfect addition.
