Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional

  • 1/4 cup walnuts


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bread evenly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, honey, and vegetable oil. Stir these together until well blended and smooth.
  3. Add eggs: Crack in the eggs and mix thoroughly to incorporate them into the wet mixture, helping to bind the ingredients.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  5. Mix wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to combine everything into a consistent batter without overmixing.
  6. Add walnuts (optional): If using, gently fold in the walnuts to add texture and nutty flavor to the bread.
  7. Prepare pan and pour batter: Grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  9. Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan before slicing. This helps the bread set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Keep the bread stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
  • For added moisture, consider mixing in 1/4 cup applesauce or yogurt.
