Healthy Pumpkin Bread Perfect for Freezing!

Can I get a fist pump for fall baking season? Admittedly, we cook with pumpkin all year round – we blend it in smoothies, add it to our oatmeal, stir it into our waffle batter, and use it for fruit dip.

As I’ve said 100 times, I’m talking about 100% pure pumpkin, not that PSL nonsense full of added sugars and other creepy ingredients. Pure, unadulterated pumpkin is where it’s at, friends.

Healthy Pumpkin Bread

Most recently I decided to bake a loaf of this healthy pumpkin bread full of whole grains, nutrients and fiber. The secret ingredient that keeps it super moist and dense? Plain, unsweetened yogurt. I use it almost anytime I make muffins, pancakes or other baked goods.

Made with cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg and cloves, each bite is full of that irresistible fall flavor we can’t seem to get enough of this time of year.

    I’m a diabetic and loving my sweets and breads (and pasta which I have not substituted, just eat 1/2 the serving to one ounce) Been looking for sugar and flour substitutes. Purchased almond and coconut flour, but can’t figure out substitute for sugar (use liquid stevia for my coffee, and went from 16 drops to 6 for 16 oz coffee). But cant figure out how to substitute sugar. I do have a bag of powdered stevia, can I substitute that equal amt to regular sugar?

    If I wanted to sub maple syrup for the sugar how would it change the measurements?

      You can’t just replace sugar with syrup I’m afraid. :) Sorry!

    Maybe it’s staring me right in the face & I’m missing it but what counts as a serving in the nutritional breakdown above? I just started calorie counting & I want to try this recipe out but need to know how much pumpkin bread I can shove in my face “responsibly.

      Oops sorry about that! It makes 16 slices and 1 slice is a serving. Enjoy!

    LOVE! I can never get enough pumpkin! ;) Would white whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt work in this recipe? :)
