How To Make Pumpkin Bread At Home<br />
<br />
I’m Annette Reeder, The Biblical Nutritionist, and I’m here because you matter to me. Your health matters to me, and my goal is to ensure you enjoy the best foods that God has designed for us. In the Treasures of Healthy Living Bible study, we focus on three essential principles:<br />
<br />
Eat the foods God called food for us.<br />
Eat those foods as close to God’s design as possible.<br />
Don’t let anything become an addiction.<br />
<br />
Today’s recipe is going to follow these principles while delivering a nourishing and delicious homemade pumpkin bread. Ready? Let’s get started!<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cups whole wheat flour (or Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour)<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
2 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
1/2 tsp nutmeg<br />
1/2 tsp ginger<br />
1/2 tsp allspice (optional)<br />
1/4 cup oil<br />
4 large eggs<br />
1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée (canned or fresh)<br />
1/2 cup applesauce (or homemade sweet potato butter)<br />
1/4 cup dates, chopped<br />
1/2 cup nuts (pecans or walnuts)<br />
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, I use chickpea protein)<br />
Instructions<br />
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.<br />
<br />
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice (if using). Set aside.<br />
<br />
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, pumpkin purée, and applesauce (or sweet potato butter).<br />
<br />
Combine wet and dry: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until fully combined.<br />
<br />
Add the extras: Stir in the chopped dates and nuts. If using vanilla protein powder, add it now for an extra boost of protein.<br />
<br />
Divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans.<br />
<br />
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. The bread should have a rich, dark color due to the wholesome ingredients.<br />
<br />
Cool the loaves on a wire rack before slicing. You can enjoy one loaf now and freeze the other for the holidays!<br />
<br />
Why This Pumpkin Bread is Special<br />
This pumpkin bread is more than just a treat; it’s a nutritional powerhouse! By using real, wholesome ingredients, you’re getting high levels of fiber, protein, and loads of vitamins from the pumpkin and nuts. We’ve swapped out refined sugars for natural sweetness from dates and applesauce, making it a much healthier option than store-bought versions.<br />
