25 Great British Baking Show Copycat Recipes

America has many food and cooking competition shows, but none are as sweet and accented as The Great British Baking Show (or Bake Off for the Brits). From the early episodes with British treasure Mary Berry as a judge to Prue Leith joining Paul Hollywood, and Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond adding comic relief, the show keeps evolving in exciting ways. We’ve learned to make classic British desserts like a proper Victorian sponge and can now identify Northern and Southern English accents.

But honestly, we’re really here for the bakes. There have been some wildly incomprehensible technical challenges from Paul’s sinister mind (who can forget flaounes and dampfnudel?), but some are easy enough to make at home. These copycat recipes are inspired by the show, including one-offs from our favorite challenges and top bakers. No UK-to-American conversions necessary!

Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Bread

It’s no surprise that Starbucks bakes a great pumpkin loaf. From their beloved lemon loaf to the iconic cheese Danish, Starbucks has its pastry case down pat. But in the midst of fall, the pumpkin loaf reigns supreme: Tender, fall-spiced and abundantly pumpkin-y, it’s almost worth the $4.75 for a 1-inch-thick slice. Almost. That’s why our Test Kitchen pros decided to crack the code on the recipe, creating a copycat Starbucks pumpkin bread that can be made right at home as a much more economical option.

Our recipe uses an entire can of pumpkin between two loaves, so it’s full of great pumpkin flavor, plus a perfected spice blend that helps it taste just like the pumpkin loaf at Starbucks. Before they hit the oven, the loaves are sprinkled with pumpkin seeds, mimicking the shop’s iconic pumpkin bread from the inside out.

To make it feel as if you’re buying the pumpkin bread right from Starbucks, cut the loaves into 1-inch-thick slices and pair a slice with a copycat Starbucks pumpkin spice latte.
