Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup milk of choice (such as almond, oat, or regular milk)
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the pure pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
