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.

Do you love pumpkin bread in the fall? What’s your favorite pumpkin treat?
Wow. That looks really good! I'm planning to make a bunch of pumpkin puree next week and freeze it, so I will definitely try this one out.
I just finished reading your entire blog! After spending 3 nights reading, I just had to tell you how much I have enjoyed it. I feel you are right on with so many things! I love the encouragement and the information I have gleaned. We are just starting out our real foods journey. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and info! I will be buying your ebook just as soon as hubby gets paid! Thanks again!!
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.
I am making this today…one for me and one to go along with a postpartum meal I am bringing to a friend. Can't wait to taste it!!
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!
