Ingredients

• 120 grams Rolled oats
• 120 grams Whole wheat flour
• 240 grams Unsweetened pumpkin puree
• 60 milliliters Maple syrup
• 120 grams Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 30 grams Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 40 grams Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix; it is okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruit for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice into 8 even pieces. Serve and enjoy as is or with a spread of almond butter for added flavor.
