Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour I recommend Bob's Red Mill Ivory Wheat
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 egg
- ¼ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted; or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: the flour, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and coconut oil or butter. Stir until just moistened—do not overmix or the bread will be tough. The mixture should be thick.
- Spread into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is brown and cracked, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly.
- Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes
- You may replace cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves with 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice for simplicity.
- Adding ½ cup walnuts, chocolate chips, or pecans enhances texture and flavor.
