Healthy Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  •  In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Set this dry mixture aside.
  • In another large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a smooth batter.
  • Fold in the plain Greek yogurt and chopped nuts (if using). The Greek yogurt adds moisture and a hint of tanginess to the bread.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
  • Once done, remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
