The Best Healthy Pumpkin Bread

What You’ll Need

1¾ cups white whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup whole milk greek yogurt

¼ cup olive oil

1½ cups pumpkin puree

½ cup maple syrup (not pancake syrup)

2 large eggs

½ tablespoon vanilla extract

½ cup dark chocolate chips (plus more for the top)

½ cup walnuts, chopped

How to Make It

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.

Add the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.

To a separate mixing bowl add the greek yogurt, olive oil, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Next, stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips if using.

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.

Bake the pumpkin bread at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted into the center, comes out clean. If the bread beings to brown too quickly you can tent it lightly with a piece of foil.

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Once cool, slice and enjoy!
