Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 5

If using, fold in chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
