Pumpkin Whole Wheat Bread

Last night on Andy Cohen, I couldn't help but chuckle when he said he was already over pumpkin. And that women were to blame for that. I guess we all get excited for the changes of the season and pumpkin everything. I sure don't care.

I LOVE pumpkin.

But did you know that pumpkin bread is one of the most unhealthy "fall foods"???? It's true. Full of sugar. Most recipes call for about 2-3 cups of sugar. Try my version. Just as good. Just not as bad for you

Whole Grain Pumpkin Bread

3/4 cup organic pumpkin purée
1 free range egg
1/3 cup organic milk of choice
1/2 cup softened organic butter or coconut oil
1/2 cup local honey
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

Mix all wet ingredients. Add spices. Then slowly mix in flour. Pour in a greased loaf pan (sprinkle with pumpkin seeds if desired) and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. Allow to cool before taking out of pan.
