Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups of pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup of maple syrup or honey
- ½ cup of Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or easy cinnamon spice blend)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, for added crunch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in chopped walnuts if desired.
- Grease a loaf pan with oil or non-stick spray. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top if desired.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
