Healthy pumpkin bread recipe

  • This healthy pumpkin bread is so moist and perfect, you’d never guess that it wasn’t 100% indulgent.


    INGREDIENTS
    • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
    • 3 large eggs
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
    • 3/4 cup water
    • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 2 cups whole wheat flour
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
    INSTRUCTIONS
    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two large loaf pans with nonstick baking spray. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, sugar, yogurt, water and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
    • In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add these dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined but do not over mix.
    • Split the batter between the two loaf pans and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes depending on the size of your loaf pans — mine are extra long so it only took an hour. A toothpick or a knife inserted in the middle should come out clean when the bread is done baking.
    • Let cool 10-15 minutes in pans before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
    NOTES

    This bread freezes well.
    You can easily cut the sugar in half in this recipe for an even healthier recipe.
