Recipe for the Month - Pumpkin Bread

October is the time when you see pumpkins everywhere. This recipes allows you to join in the spirit of the season with healthy twist. This is a great way to use the "meat" or the inside of the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Bread

Start with a small pumpkin, they are more sweet and tender. You will need to soften up the pumpkin. Here are two different methods that I have used.

1) Place the pumpkin in a pan of water on the stove. Heat at medium temperature for 30-60 minutes until the skin can be pierced by a knife easily.

2) Place the pumpkin in a microwave safe dish. Pierce with a knife making several holes in the skin. Heat on high for 7- 10 minutes or until the skin can be pierced by a knife easily.

Once the pumpkin has been softened; scope out the seeds and throw them away. Then scoop out the meat of the pumpkin and set aside.

6 tablespoons of butter or vegan butter substitute
2/3 cups of turbinado sugar
2 organic eggs
1 cup of mash pumpkin
1 teaspoon of vanilla
¾ cup whole wheat flour
¾ cup unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon of ground allspice
¼ teaspoon of baking powder
1/3 - ½ cup of milk or milk substitute

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan.

In a bowl add:
butter or vegan butter substitute and turbinado sugar. Beat in 2 organic eggs.

Then add into the wet mixture:
mashed fresh pumpkin and vanilla

In another bowl mix the dry ingredients:
whole wheat flour, unbleached flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground allspice and baking powder.

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Once all the ingredients have been combined add the milk or milk substitute.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until done.
