Ingredients

• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, for added sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and sweetener (if using).

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Slice and serve as is, or pair with your favorite spread or topping. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
