Yay! A Healthy Pumpkin Bread Recipe

I keep cans of pumpkin stocked in our pantry year-round because it’s such a flexible and fabulous ingredient to bake and cook with. Muffins, pancakes, waffles, chili, cakes, pies, you name it, pumpkin brings a delicate texture and delicious flavor to everything its added to. I feel like most pumpkin bread recipes are super sweet and indulgent though. Don’t get me wrong, I love my sweets and indulgences, but pumpkin is healthy in itself so why not feature it in more healthier recipes too?! My Healthy 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Bread recipe is baked and loved by so many of you that I decided to create a pumpkin version. A yummy bread you can bake with ingredients you more than likely already have on hand (no specialty gluten-free flours or coconut oil), that’s quick to get into the oven and that you can feel great about eating often.

Hearty oats, pure pumpkin, maple syrup, eggs, baking soda and pumpkin spice are all easily blended in the blender to create the batter for this bread. You’d never know it doesn’t have flour, oil or butter, salt or granulated sugar in it. And, in case simplicity is your thing, skip the bowl and the whisk. With this recipe, there’s no need to stir. You just blend all of the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together in your blender.

How to Make Flourless Pumpkin Bread

First, Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and well combined. (Be sure not to over blend the batter. If the batter is over blended, it will start to warm and cook the oats which prevents the loaf from baking into a bread-like texture. It will have the texture of oatmeal if the oats start cooking before you bake the bread.)

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (If the top of the loaf is browned, but the center is not baked all the way through yet, simply cover the top with foil and let the loaf continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.)

Let loaf cool completely in loaf pan. Store bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

This hearty, moist, slightly sweet loaf will win you over the first time you bake it and will become a bread you crave to bake over and over again. Be it for breakfast or a snack, it’s healthy and delish!
