I like that this Mediterranean Diet Pumpkin Bread is made with healthier ingredients.

This bread is especially good during the autumn months and going into the holiday season.

This recipe is a great way to make a healthier pumpkin bread that is also friendly for the Mediterranean diet.
There are alternatives to make this a vegan friendly bread as well.

This recipe does remind me of my Healthier Carrot Cake Recipe.

That carrot cake was made with fresh carrots and whole wheat flour.
This recipe for pumpkin bread is made with pumpkin puree and whole wheat flour.

This recipe is great for anyone asking how do you eat pumpkin bread.

Personally, I like this bread best when it is still warm.
However, this pumpkin bread is also good any time as well.

You could easily eat this pumpkin bread plain.

But, there are some great Mediterranean diet friendly spreads that would also work with this bread.
Even a low fat cream cheese would be a good choice for me.

This recipe for pumpkin bread is also for anyone asking what can I make from a pumpkin.

In the case of this bread, we will use pumpkin puree.
We will also use typical autumn spices that you would expect from a tasty pumpkin bread.

I mentioned that this recipe for pumpkin bread can be made vegan.

Yes, there is an egg involved in this recipe.
However, for that egg you can sub in two tablespoons of flaxseed and three tablespoons of water.

Tips for making pumpkin bread.

I mentioned that this bread can be made vegan. Simply sub in two tablespoons of flaxseed and three tablespoons of water for that egg.

Here are some more great tips for you.

  1. This recipe calls for 3/4 cup of honey. Suitable alternatives for that honey would include agave syrup, brown sugar or coconut palm sugar (you may want to increase the quantity as desired).
  2. Yes, this is a bread recipe that uses a basic bread loaf pan to bake it in. However, you could use a mini loaf pan or even muffin pan for baking. You may need to adjust baking times if you do.
  3. While I have not included any kind of chopped nut in this recipe, feel free to add some if you would like to. I like a half cup or so of chopped walnuts with pumpkin bread.

How do you know when pumpkin bread is done?

I know, this is one of those breads that may be hard to tell. Especially since we are using whole wheat flour and not the usual all purpose white flour.

Unlike with other breads, I would not judge this bread by browning on the top.

A simple toothpick test to see if the toothpick comes out clean should be good.
I would check in more than one spot as well.

Here is how to make pumpkin puree.

Preheat the oven to 325 and cut a small pumpkin in half (some folks like a sweet or baking pumpkin as they have more meat in them). Remove the stem, seeds, and pulp. Cover both of the halves with foil and bake for an hour or until tender. Then while the pumpkin meat is still warm, scoop it from the pumpkin and puree it until done. You can freeze this away for later use!!
