Ingredients

Scale

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
You can reduce the maple syrup to 1/3 cup for a lower sugar option.
Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
