Notes

This easy healthy pumpkin bread recipe is a great snack, breakfast, or late night treat. Top it with some fresh honey, greek yogurt, or cream cheese for that creamy texture.

This batter should work for pumpkin muffins as well but we have not tried that so we definitely recommend a tested pumpkin muffin recipe.

Mix in chopped pecans, walnuts, cranberries, or chocolate chips!
