Celebrate the beginning of Fall with this delicious breakfast pumpkin bread. It's 100% whole grain and has less than 2 teaspoon added sugar per slice
For me, Fall = pumpkins, football, and really colorful leaves all over the ground.
It's September, and I want to start my Fall celebration.
So in honor of the pumpkin loving season, I'm making pumpkin bread for breakfast.
I misplaced my muffin tin so I had to make it into bread, but it would be so fun in muffin form. Then it would be even easier to take it on the run if needed.
So go ahead and start celebrating the changing of the season...
Make this pumpkin bread for breakfast {and have the most amazing-smelling house!}. It's a wonderful way to start your day!
Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping
Ingredients
For the bread
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats or quick, not instant
- ยผ cup packed brown sugar {light or dark}
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ยผ teaspoon baking soda
- ยผ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ยผ teaspoon ginger
- โ teaspoon cloves
- 1/16 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup pumpkin 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie
- 2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ยฝ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the streusel topping
- ยผ cup oats
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- ยฝ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan or muffin tins with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, honey, Greek yogurt, egg, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture.
- Stir until just combined. Do not over-mix!
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside.
Make the streusel topping
- In a small bowl, mix the oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon together.
- Cut in the butter with two knives or just use your fingers to make sure all the oats, sugar, & cinnamon are coated with the butter. It should look crumbly, sort of like partially-wet sand.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter in the loaf pan.
Bake the bread
- Put the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. {If you make muffins, it should take about 15-20 minutes}.
- Let bread cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then remove from pan.
- Cut into 12 slices. Keep bread covered in the refrigerator or freezer.

Oh I hope you like it! I've been eating it all week for breakfast, and it's really making me wish the temperature would drop just a little. I can't wait until it's semi-acceptable to bake while watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music ๐
