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

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 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.)

Wet Ingredients

  • 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.)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes.
  • Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

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