Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Loaf pan
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup skim milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease the loaf pan lightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, applesauce, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the skim milk until the batter is smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For a more intense pumpkin flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or increasing the cinnamon slightly. To keep the bread moist, avoid overmixing the batter, and let the bread cool completely before slicing. This bread can also be frozen for up to three months; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil.
