If you're one of those people who love pumpkin as much as me, it will be easy for you to fall for this healthy pumpkin bread. It's super moist and balanced in nutrition so your hormones won't cause you to crave more and more.

Why This Pumpkin Bread Is Healthier

It's lightly sweetened and lower fat. Typical pumpkin bread is loaded with these two things. This bread has just 1 gram of fat and 8 grams of sugar per slice. 8 grams may seem like a lot, but most recipes have 15 to 30 grams. The sugar in this recipe comes from oats, pumpkin and maple syrup. All real foods your body recognizes!

Because this recipe use oats instead of flour, it is higher fiber which most people are severely deficient in. If you want to eat treats, I always recommend you look for high fiber ones. It will help with the blood sugar response.

What You Need for Healthy Pumpkin Bread

  • Pumpkin puree
  • Egg Whites
  • Maple Syrup
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • Baking Soda
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg

How To Make Pumpkin Bread with Oats

The first step is to blend all the ingredients together in either a food processor or blender. Even if you use gluten free oat flour, I recommend still blending everything this way.

The next step is to transfer the batter into a prepared loaf pan. I like to line mine with parchment paper for easy removal.

Then bake, slice and enjoy!

Substitutions for Pumpkin Bread

There are many ways to customize this pumpkin bread to your dietary needs and tastebuds. Here are a few ideas:

  • Egg Whites - Using egg whites gives the bread higher protein content and keeps the calories lower. If you want to use whole eggs, you can substitute this recipe with two. This will increase the calories and change the nutrition.
  • Maple Syrup - You can substitute honey in this recipe. Coconut sugar, brown sugar, monk fruit etc. I have not tried, but suspect it may cause the bread to be very dense versus fluffy.
  • Oats - You can substitute rolled oats for gluten free oat flour. I have not tested other flours with this recipe, but gluten free baking flour I'm guessing will work. Coconut flour will not work. If you need an almond flour pumpkin bread recipe, try this one.
  • Add-Ins - Chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, low sugar cranberries would all be delicious add-ins.
  • Spices - You can use 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice if you do not have nutmeg.

How To Store Pumpkin Bread

This low fat pumpkin bread won't last long in your house! I love to snack on it with coffee and my homemade turmeric pumpkin spice coffee creamer.

I recommended storing the bread in the refrigerator as it will last longer and stay fresh. You can freeze the bread in an airtight container or plastic bag. To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight or pop it in the microwave for 1 or 2 minutes.

      The recipe card has this info next to the bake time. There's 10 slices total so one serving equals one slice.

      I have not tried kodiak power cake mix with this recipe so I cannot say how it would turn out.

    I used coconut sugar instead of maple syrup and replaced eggs with apple sauce (egg intolerant) and it still turned out yummy! I will definitely be using maple syrup next time though

    I’d love to make these vegan. (Egg intolerance). Have you ever tried making these with a flax/chia egg?

      I have not tried that so I'm not sure what the results would be.

    can i make these into muffins? what would the cook time be?

      Yes, you could probably make them into muffins. I haven't yet, generally the rule of thumb is half the time as the bread. I would do 15 minutes then check if they are done.
