Pumpkin is one of those seasonal ingredients that seems to go back on the shelf after the holidays. To be honest, I was getting a little pumpkin-ed out myself by Thanksgiving from seeing all the pumpkin recipes floating around everywhere. But, I do miss the smell of pumpkin bread baking in my kitchen. So, I made a hearty loaf of pumpkin bread recently, using a combination of oat flour, spelt flour and ground flax seeds. Ground flax seeds can be used in place of up to half the oil in quick breads – did you know that? This loaf is packed with good-for-you ingredients.

Since this makes two loaves, you can freeze one or give one away. That’s what I ended up doing when two friends popped by one afternoon. They were more than happy to take some of this pumpkin bread off my hands ;). My husband brought in a plate to share with his office mates too. He confessed later on that he actually ate three slices himself, which I wasn’t too surprised by. At least I knew he was eating something healthier than he might otherwise.

    Looks delicious but still seems like an awful lot of sugar! 2.5 cups for 2 loaves of bread? Can you suggest ways to further reduce the sugar without changing the consistency?

      I reduced the sugar by 1/2 cup but if you want to try reducing it further, you might try swapping in some applesauce or pureed banana for part of the sugar. I don’t know if that will change the consistency or not, but it’s worth a try. My only suggestion is to start off substituting no more than 1 cup since either applesauce or pureed banana is more liquid than sugar.
