This hearty pumpkin bread combines wholesome ingredients and a boost of protein, perfect for a cozy fall treat.

1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour (This gives the bread a hearty texture while adding fiber. If you're looking for a gluten-free option)
1 teaspoon Baking Powder (Essential for a light and fluffy loaf. It helps the bread rise perfectly as it bakes.)
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Brings that warm (comforting spice that’s a signature of fall flavors.))
0.5 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (A lovely addition to balance the sweetness of the pumpkin and complement the cinnamon.)
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice (This classic fall spice mix is the key to the rich (aromatic flavor that defines pumpkin bread.))
Pinch Salt (A small amount of salt enhances all the flavors and helps balance the sweetness.)

1 cup Pumpkin Puree (Serves as the primary source of both moisture and flavor in the loaf. Avoid using pumpkin pie filling)
2 Large Eggs Eggs (They provide structure and richness (while also contributing to the protein content.))
0.5 cup Greek Yogurt (Adds extra moisture and a protein boost. It enhances the bread’s texture by keeping it moist and tender.)
0.25 cup Honey or Maple Syrup (Sweetens the bread naturally. You can adjust this based on how sweet you like your baked goods.)
0.25 cup Olive Oil (Ensures your bread stays moist and rich without feeling greasy.)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (A splash of vanilla adds depth and enhances all the flavors in the bread.)

For a gluten-free version, substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
