Healthy Pumpkin Bread: 1 Greek Yogurt Trick

  • Author: Lara
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 loaves (20 slices) 1x

Description

A moist, tender, and genuinely healthy pumpkin bread made with Greek yogurt instead of oil. This one-bowl recipe uses whole wheat flour and coconut sugar for a rich flavor without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) pure pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup (120g) full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup (150g) coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 9×5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and coconut sugar for one minute until smooth and emulsified.
  3. Add pumpkin puree to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Divide batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans (filling about ¾ full).
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes. If tops brown too quickly, tent with aluminum foil after 35 minutes.
  8. Test for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure eggs and yogurt are at room temperature for best texture. Do not use pumpkin pie filling; use 100% pure pumpkin puree. If using regular yogurt, drain excess liquid. For a crunchy top, brush batter with melted butter or coconut oil before baking. This bread freezes well for up to 3 months.
