Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour I used King Arthur's white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger ground
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup nuts chopped (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (from the flour down to the salt).
  3. Make a well (hole) in the center and throw in the eggs, oil, honey, and vanilla. Stir together thoroughly with a fork, but do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the pumpkin puree and nuts (if using).
  5. Generously grease a large loaf pan or to turn this into pumpkin muffins, place muffin liners in a muffin pan and then pour in the batter.
  6. For a loaf bake for approximately 30 – 40 minutes and for muffins bake for approximately 18 - 22 minutes. Check for doneness by making sure a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the loaf (or muffins) cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
