Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, applesauce, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring just until the batter is smooth and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve as a delicious breakfast or snack, ideally with a warm cup of coffee or tea.
