A nutritious and delightful pumpkin bread packed with protein, perfect for a snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

  • Optional mix-ins: chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and eggs. Whisk until creamy.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl: almond flour, whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Add any optional mix-ins if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and yogurt with plant-based yogurt. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
