Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 10 even pieces and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
