Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat bran
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pureed pumpkin
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the pureed pumpkin, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the pumpkin bran squares to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
