Tämä Maapähkinävoi-kurpitsaleipä is a simple 5-ingredient sweet loaf with an ultra-moist texture, perfect if you love pumpkin spice flavor and peanut butter.
I love making simple and healthy bread with peanut butter, like my Suklaa-maapähkinävoi-banaanileipä, but for fall, I turn all my recipes into pumpkin recipes. You’ll have noticed that with my Kurpitsablondit ja Kurpitsapiirakka-keksit.
So, it was perfectly natural to turn the classic banana bread into a fall-flavored pumpkin version!

Ainesosat ja vaihdot
This recipe requires only 4 base ingredients, and you can add pumpkin spice and chocolate chips for a boost of flavor.
- Kurpitsasose – Use 100% pure pumpkin puree for best results. Homemade or canned both work well.
- Maapähkinävoi – I use a natural, fresh peanut butter for optimal texture and flavor. Other nut or seed butters can be substituted, such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Vaahterasiirappi – This brings sweetness and moisture, replacing sugar and milk. Other liquid sweeteners can be used as alternatives, like coconut nectar, agave syrup, or sugar-free maple syrup.
- Itsekohoava jauho – You can make it by adding baking powder to all-purpose flour (2 teaspoons per cup). You can also use spelt flour with baking powder. This won’t work with almond flour or coconut flour. For a gluten-free option, use my gluteeniton muuntaja, mutta älä unohda leivinjauhetta.
- Kurpitsapiirakan mausteet – this adds warm, aromatic flavors characteristic of pumpkin treats. Can be adjusted to taste. You can make yours by combining 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of ground allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves.
- Tumma suklaalastut – It’s optional but a great addition for extra indulgence and flavor contrast.

Carinen leivontavinkkejä
While you have all you need in the recipe card, I have a few more tips for you to make the best bread!
- For the moistest bread, avoid overmixing the batter. Stir just until ingredients are combined.
- If using homemade pumpkin puree, strain excess liquid to prevent the bread from becoming too wet.
- Lisätekstuuria varten, you can fold in chopped nuts or dried fruits along with or instead of chocolate chips.
- To enhance the peanut butter flavor, swirl additional peanut butter into the top of the batter before baking.
- For a more pronounced spice flavor, let the batter rest for 30 minutes before baking to allow the spices to infuse.
- To prevent the top from over-browning, cover the loaf with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking if needed.
Hi. Just FYI – The instructions in the recipe don’t include peanut butter. But I read above and used it in the first step of mixing. This bread turned out sooo delicious!
