A nutritious and protein-packed pumpkin bread perfect for breakfast or a quick snack, featuring wholesome ingredients and cozy fall spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cup oat flour (scoop gently and level, don’t pack)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup packed vanilla-flavored protein powder
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, then spray it lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oat flour, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until everything is mixed well. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, saving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  3. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top for a pretty finish.
  4. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Let it cool a bit, then enjoy a slice (or two) of this cozy, protein-packed pumpkin bread!

Notes

If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice handy, you can mix your own with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice., Use certified gluten-free oat flour for a gluten-free version., This batter works well for muffins; bake in a muffin tin for 18-22 minutes at 350°F., For vegan or dairy-free options, replace eggs with chia or flax eggs, use dairy-free yogurt, and select a vegan protein powder., Try mix-ins like nuts, pumpkin seeds, or dried cranberries for added flavor and texture., Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze slices or the whole loaf wrapped tightly.
