Mmm.. I just love a warm slice of pumpkin spice bread as the days are getting cooler and fall is beginning. This recipe turned out great.. not only is it easy, it’s healthy too!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup flour (whole-wheat, white, or whatever kind you want)
- 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup applesauce (or oil)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350.
In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredient mixture and add the eggs, applesauce, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Fold in the pureed pumpkin.
Grease a large loaf pan and pour in the batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
Yum! A delicious & healthy pumpkin bread that’s perfect for fall!
