Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: the flour, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and coconut oil or butter. Stir until just moistened—do not overmix or the bread will be tough. The mixture should be thick.
- Spread into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is brown and cracked, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly.
- Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- White whole wheat flour is a 100% whole grain flour that has all the health benefits of whole wheat with a lighter texture and flavor. If you can't find it, you can sub it equal amounts of whole wheat flour, just know your bread will be a touch more dense.
- You can sub in 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, if you prefer.
- Feel free to add ½ cup of walnuts, chocolate chips, or pecans for a flavorful crunch.
