Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Rolled oats
- 120 grams Whole wheat flour
- 240 grams Unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 120 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 40 grams Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix; it is okay if there are a few lumps.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Once cooled, slice into 8 even pieces. Serve and enjoy as is or with a spread of almond butter for added flavor.
