Most pumpkin bread recipes name for 1 cup of puree, however with this recipe you don’t have to fret about having leftover pumpkin! Be at liberty to make your individual pumpkin puree utilizing this tutorial too.
- Butter: more often than not I’m utilizing coconut oil in recipes, so I assumed, why not use butter for moisture and texture? When you use butter, I extremely counsel browning the butter for a toasty, nutty taste that provides wonderful depth to this pumpkin bread. When you don’t wish to use butter, you can too use melted and cooled coconut oil, and even olive oil!
- Pure maple syrup: my favourite pure unrefined sweetener to make use of. When you don’t really feel like utilizing pure maple syrup, honey will even work nicely.
- Eggs: you’ll want two eggs for fluffy texture within the bread.
- Vanilla: the one and solely vanilla extract.
- Complete wheat pastry flour: that is one in every of my favourite entire grain flours to make use of as a result of it retains baked items gentle as a substitute of dense. When you don’t have entire wheat pastry flour, you should use white entire wheat flour OR be happy to sub 1 cup all objective flour and three/4 cup entire wheat flour.

- Pumpkin spices: I desire to make use of my very own mix of pumpkin spices as a substitute of utilizing pumpkin pie spice. This pumpkin bread makes use of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
The addictive maple glaze
Not solely is the maple glaze for the home made pumpkin bread simple to make, however you’ll end up wanting to place it on absolutely anything and the whole lot. In fact, the glaze is totally elective however I discover that it provides a little bit uniqueness to the bread. All you’ll want is powdered sugar, pure maple syrup and almond milk. Yum.

Ideas for making this wholesome pumpkin bread
- Observe the recipe. The easiest way to make sure the success of this simple, wholesome pumpkin bread is to comply with the recipe and use the precise substances as written (except I be aware particular substitutes).

- Don’t overmix the batter. When you overmix batter you’ll find yourself with a bread that’s extra dense and gummy as a substitute of fluffy and gentle.
- Use contemporary baking soda. In case your baking soda is older than 3 months, I counsel grabbing a brand new one for finest baking outcomes.
- Line your loaf pan. I like to recommend lining your loaf pan with parchment paper AND spraying it with nonstick cooking spray in order that your pumpkin bread comes out simply.
The way to make pumpkin bread into muffins
I do know I’m going to get questions on if this wholesome pumpkin bread could be made into muffins and the reply is YES.

- To retailer: this bread will final for a number of days on the counter, however after that, I counsel wrapping it up and conserving it within the fridge.
- To freeze: let the pumpkin bread fully cool and wrap it tightly with aluminum foil. Then, place it in a freezer-friendly bag and pop it into the freezer. Bread will hold within the freezer for as much as 3 months.
Simply take a look at that texture! I can’t cease gazing it. Or frankly baking this bread. I discover that by some means it continues to get higher as the times go on. My suggestion? Prime a slice with peanut butter or almond butter and a sprinkle of sea salt for the final word 3pm afternoon snack!
