Pumpkin Power Bread

I love bread! In particular, I love bread with stuff in it, that makes it flavorful and fun to eat. Even better when it has healthy stuff in it! This was great fresh out of the oven, and fantastic toasted! It made a fun mid-morning work snack, and a great weekend breakfast with coffee!  Not too sweet and a lot of great flavor! This is pretty much the recipe from The Chew with just a little less sugar.

Ingredients:

Pumpkin Power Bread

1 1/2 C whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp baking soda

5 Tbls Sugar

1/2 tsp Nutmeg*

1/2 tsp Cinnamon*

1/2 tsp Allspice*

1 tsp ginger*

1 C pumpkin puree

2 eggs

1/2 c Coconut Oil**

1 tsp Vanilla extract

4 T Honey

1/2 C walnuts, chopped

Heat oven to 350. Sift together dry ingredients; including spices in a small bowl. In a large bowl mix together Pumpkin, eggs, oil, vanilla and honey. Add dry ingredients to wet and combine. Do not over mix. Stir in walnuts. Pour mix into buttered bread pan, and bake 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

* You could substitute the nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and ginger, for an equal amount of Pumpkin Spice (or 2 tsp).

** I substituted half of the Coconut Oil with Prune Puree.
