Honey and Walnut Pumpkin Bread

[Guest guest]

I made this today, found it on the Whole Foods site. It's not a really sweet

bread but yummy. I used about 1/2 cup of walnuts and flax meal instead of oat

bran or wheat germ because that's what I had. I think next time I'll add some

raisins. I also had to cook it a little longer in my oven (10-15 mins).

Honey and Walnut Pumpkin Bread

 

Canola oil cooking spray

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 cup oat bran or wheat germ

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

6 tablespoons cane sugar

1/3 cup canola or sunflower oil

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup milk

1 1/4 cups fresh or canned pumpkin puree

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped walnuts

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch loaf pan with canola oil cooking spray

and set aside.

 

In a large bowl, combine flour, oat bran, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt

and baking soda. In a second large bowl, combine sugar, oil, honey, milk,

pumpkin, egg and vanilla then add to flour mixture and stir until just combined.

Fold in walnuts.

 

Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and bake until cooked through and a

toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool for 15

minutes on a wire rack then remove from pan and set aside to let cool

completely.
