Made from scratch moist pumpkin bread recipe that's sure to be a new family favorite.  The sweetness of the pumpkin bread is made perfect with the combination of pure maple syrup and dark brown sugar along with plenty of fall spices.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups canned pumpkin
  • 1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 flax eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup coconut oil melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350˚ F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, soda, salt and spices.
  • In a large separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients starting with the canned pumpkin (except the coconut oil) and stir well . Make a well in the center of your dry ingredient bowl and pour your pumpkin mixture into it, stirring gently with a spoon.
  • When most of the flour has been mixed in, pour in your melted coconut oil and stir until it is mixed through and there is no more flour showing.
  • Divide the batter into two standard size loaf pans that have been greased ahead of time. Top with raw pumpkin seeds if desired.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow the breads to sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing  them to a cookie sheet to fully cool.

Notes

Instead of using individual spices, you may substitute 3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
If using fresh pumpkin instead of canned, use only 2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream
To give a nuttier taste considering using 2 large eggs and 2 flax eggs in the recipe.
