Healthier Pumpkin Bread



So all three of the boys (husband included) in my house woke up wanting mommy's "yummy pumpkin bread"! Now the pumpkin bread they speak of is full of all sorts of sugar, oil, and unbleached flour. So I decided to try a healthier version that was still a "treat"! It is not perfectly clean but it is better!!!

All the boys loved it and it was very delicious with my coffee this morning :)

Ingredients

-2 cups whole wheat flour
-3/4 tsp. baking soda
-1/2 tsp. salt
-1 cup organic cane sugar (I substituted 1/2 cup for honey because I just could't put all that sugar in:)) 
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
-2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 
-1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
-1 tsp. vanilla
-1/2 cup chocolate chips


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix with a whisk.
3. Place coconut oil and sugar in a large bowl. Blend 
4. Add eggs, pumpkin, yogurt, and vanilla
5. Add flour mixture; mix until blended.
6. fold in chocolate chips. 
6. Place batter evenly between  2 loaf pans sprayed with cooking spray.
7. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes (Mine was done at 50 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. 






















Enjoy,
Deanna
