This recipe was born out of breakfast necessity. Breakfast is always on the go in our house and I was looking for a healthy, portable option. This Pumpkin Power Bread satisfies both requirements. It is filling, delicious, and perfect for fall.
Pumpkin Power Bread
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2c unsweetened applesauce
1 15 oz can of pumpkin
2 eggs
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2c whole wheat flour
1/2c old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2c raisins
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F. Mash the banana with a fork until you achieve a semi-smooth texture.
Step 2: Add the applesauce and pumpkin and stir until incorporated.
Step 4: Find your super cute whole wheat flour container, and add a 1/2c of flour to the wet ingredients.
Step 4. Add the oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until incorporated.
Step 6: Add the 1/2 cup of raisins.
Hello lovelies :)
Step 7: Grease the baking pan of your choice with coconut oil. Add the batter and spread into an even layer. * I have used a 8 x 10, 9 x 11, and a loaf pan for this recipe.
Step 8: Bake the Pumpkin Power Bread at 350F until edges become golden brown and the middle of the pan has set up. (Appx. 30-35 minutes). *Please note that you will need to adjust the baking time depending on the pan you use (ex. traditional loaf pan).
This bread is great as is, or with a dab of butter or an extra touch of honey.
Wrap it up and it is ready for a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack on the go. :)
Enjoy this fall recipe Dabblers, just in time for Halloween. Feel free to switch things up - I have subbed maple syrup for the honey and that was delicious. If you are looking for a sweeter treat, swap the raisins out for chocolate chips.
