Equipment

  • 1 Loaf pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Cooling rack
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
  • Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the loaf to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For best results, ensure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to avoid the bread becoming too dense. You can substitute Greek yogurt with any other yogurt of choice for a different texture or flavor. If you prefer a sweeter bread, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or a few tablespoons of chocolate chips to the batter.
