Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour (I used King Arthur's white whole-wheat flour)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (ground)
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup nuts (chopped (optional))

Instruction

  • 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 to turn this into pumpkin muffins, place 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.
  • Let the loaf (or muffins) cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out on a wire rack to cool completely.
