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!
