Recipe Collection: Pumpkin Bread

admin October 14, 2010

Written by Kate Tietje

What says “fall” better than pumpkin bread?  Okay, maybe pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon, but that’s not the point.  I love pumpkin bread, and I make it every year.  I even make and freeze my own pumpkin puree to get the freshest, yummiest bread possible.

Freshly baked, still warm, spicy pumpkin bread covered in butter…  DELICIOUS!  We love to have this for breakfast on cold fall mornings — it’s an easy make-ahead item, and it freezes well.  You can even make it as muffins for individual servings.

Like I said, I love pumpkin bread!  So much so that this recipe was featured in my first cookbook, Wholesome Real Food Favorites.  Anyway, let’s get to it!

Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sprouted flour
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • ¾ tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. cardamom
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp. raw honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Directions:

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine flour, sea salt, baking soda, and spices.  Set aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl, cream butter (softened), syrup, and honey.  Add egg and pumpkin and stir until completely combined.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir gently (just until moistened).

Step 4: Bake in a loaf pan, as muffins, or as a small cake (8×8 square) for 25 – 50 minutes, depending on size (least for muffins, longest for loaf pan).  Serve warm.

  3. Yummy! The spices were great. I put in 1 1/2 cups of pumpkin because the batter didn't taste "pumpkiny" enough to me. So now the flavor is wonderful though it's too dense for me (I should probably blame myself for that because I added the extra pumpkin, haha). I will definitely try tweaking this.

  5. This was so good that I made one loaf, tasted it, and made a second loaf right away! The flavor and texture were both perfect. Thanks for a new favorite recipe!
