Pumpkin Bread - 100 Days

Ingredients

1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour (I used King Arthur’s white whole-wheat flour)

1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon nutmeg

⅛ teaspoon cloves

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

½ cup oil (I used coconut oil)

½ cup honey

½ teaspoon vanilla

1 cup pumpkin puree

½ cup chopped tree nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (from the flour down to the salt).

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.

Fold in the pumpkin puree and nuts (if using).

Generously grease a large loaf pan or put muffin liners in a muffin pan and then pour in the batter.

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.
