Equipment

  • 1 9X5 loaf pan
  • 1 parchment paper small sheet
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 hand-held or stand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 heaping cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup neutral olive oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. pepitas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a bread pan with cooking spray and then a sheet of parchment paper so that you can easily lift out the bread once baked.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • With a hand mixer beat together the pumpkin puree, olive oil, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir together the wet and dry ingredients until just combined careful not to over mix. Once the flour streaks disappear stop mixing.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan and then transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
