Allow me to introduce you to an actually delicious <\/em>healthy pumpkin bread<\/strong>, made with 100% whole wheat flour, sweetened with only maple syrup, and baked with extra-virgin olive oil. Don’t be fooled; it’s not what you think. This loaf cooks up incredibly moist and fluffy. It’s just sweet enough! The pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice (a whole tablespoon!)<\/em> are complemented, not overpowered, by the subtly sweet maple syrup. And it’s so easy and fast to prep<\/strong> with one bowl – no mixers required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My entire family was surprised to realize we prefer this not-too-sweet, healthy pumpkin bread to the more traditional, sweet, cake-like treat you usually find! And I feel good about serving it as a healthy option for breakfast or snacks to my children (and myself!)<\/em>. I mean, it even has vegetables in it, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know me, you know I love olive oil in almost anything, and that includes baked goods. From banana bread<\/a> to lemon cake<\/a> to blueberry muffins<\/a>, extra-virgin olive oil can add an earthy depth to the flavor of your favorite treats. And we all know it can be a healthier option, low in saturated fats and unrefined!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This healthy pumpkin bread is sure to make a frequent occurrence in my house from now on. I hope it does for yours as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
