This loaf is a perfect way to add some nutritional goodness with fall pumpkin and zucchini, and whole wheat flour. The moisture of the zucchini and pumpkin make it a perfect combination and it gets better after a few days when it has been well wrapped.

- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1- 14 ounce / 398 ml can pumpkin
- 3/4 cup oil
- 3 cups whole wheat flour

- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

oh my!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and am going to try it very soon. Thanks a million for sharing - I love being able to add healthy ingredients like whole wheat flour!
ReplyDeleteThis looks perfect for a cozy October weekend. It's definitely time to bring out the pumpkin recipes. September was all about apple recipes for me. I'm ready to catch fall fever and make this bread.
ReplyDeletePureed butternut squash works with this too. I just did it - yummy and moist just like pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteIn these parts squash is .49/lb. (Extra Foods) so I've cooked up 3 large butternuts and have them pureed and ready to go for pies, quick breads, cookies (excellent recipe from last week)and pumpkin challah which is an annual favourite of ours.
I'm nearly 50, but I still say and mean "You girls ROCK". :)
My friends and family all know where the new recipes are coming from.
Oh that does look good.....a must try.
ReplyDeleteBeth . ..if you would be so kind to pass on that Pumpkin Challah. . I'd love to make it. .and maybe post it and link the credit to you.. sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI got your message Beth. . .thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteAbout how much pumpkin is in a 14 oz can? I use fresh pumpkin/squash for all my needs. The taste is SO much better than canned!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I toasted the walnuts and skipped the raisins and I doubt that either loaf will last until tomorrow! I may put half a cup of chocolate chips in one loaf next time for a dessert.
ReplyDeletenice healthy recipe! it always makes me chuckle when I see "farm fresh eggs" in your recipes. I'm afraid mine are "store fresh eggs", but they work just as well. for darlene: 16oz is 2 cups, so 14 oz would be 1 3/4 cups.
ReplyDeleteThank you, AngAK!
ReplyDeleteI didn't stop to convert the weight to cups. duhhh...lol
does this make more than one loaf?
ReplyDeleteIt makes 2 loaves
