You better make 2 loaves though, the first one is guaranteed to get gobbled up quickly!
**I found this recipe at Cookie and Kate. I made a few changes to the bread that I made, you can check out her blog to see the original version. Her pictures are much cuter too!**
Ingredients:
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey {i used pure maple syrup}
2 eggs
1 cup of pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour {i just used regular whole wheat flour}
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon and ginger
1/4 teaspoon each of nutmeg and cloves or allspice
{I used 1 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice}
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup hot water
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Beat oil and honey together in a large bowl.
Add eggs, mix well.
Stir in pumpkin and vanilla, flour, salt and spices.
Add baking soda to hot water, mix and then add that in.
Bake for 60 minutes-let sit for half an hour.
Enjoy!
This sounds fabulous! I haven't purchased coconut oil yet. What do you think about using canola oil or a combo of canola and applesauce? I have gobs of pumpkin in my freezer!

ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know I left a double comment before! :/
ReplyDeleteSo, just had to tell you--I made this tonight and my whole family loved it! I used frozen pumpkin purée (thawed) real sugar and canola oil since that's what I had. It definitely tastes healthier than most quick breads, but I was surprised that even though it's whole wheat, it is moist and delicious. I followed the baking and cooling directions exactly and had one recipe in a bread pan and the other in a stoneware bundt pan. Both came out of the pan beautifully which is another huge plus. Thanks! I'll use this recipe often!
Jane,
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't respond to your first response...I have trouble leaving comments on blogs, even my own blog!
I'm glad it worked out for you! I was also surprised how moist if was for whole wheat-and yes, it comes out of the pan beautifully! This recipe is definitley a keeper! I've already made 2 more bathes:)
ummm...i mean batches.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a keeper! And I love the WW in it, my picky little guy ate this and I get to count it as a vegetable (sort of...)
