Three claps for fall because IT IS HERE!!

I act like I’m super excited about it, which I am when it comes to the food and all the fall flavors, but man I am a summer loving girl for sure.

Give me shorts, tank tops, open toed shoes, beach towels, and the warm sun. The summertime weather always has made me happiest, and even though this summer was one of the hottest ones on record, I still loved every single minute of it!

So it’s safe to say that I’m not quite ready to trade in my summer clothes for fall clothes, because that means winter is close behind, and that doesn’t excite me…

Since I already have a healthy pumpkin bread recipe on my site, I knew I wanted to create one that was a little bit different but still provided that amazing pumpkin flavor.

I ran into the newly opened Sprouts market last weekend to pick up a can of pumpkin to make this bread with. Are you familiar with Sprouts market?

It’s an awesome new-to-Philadelphia super market with lots of stores all throughout the United States. They focus on the idea that healthy living is a journey and every meal you make is a choice. The produce is at the center of the market, is displayed for everyone to see, and everything comes at an amazing price.

I personally couldn’t get over the pineapples that were 88 cents! Everything is so reasonably priced and I can’t wait to make it my new favorite grocery store!

I love the addition of oats in baking because I know it makes the bread nuttier and a little but more chewy, and while baking with whole wheat flour is delicious, it calls for lots of moisture because that flour is very “thirsty”.

So if I’m forced to do fall…I want to be forced like this. With healthy pumpkin oat bread!

    I have made this a half-dozen times. Always a hit! I admit I’ve dabbled with it in different ways by using old-fashioned oats (makes the bread deliciously chewy), using flavored yogurt (vanilla or coconut) and adding cream cheese frosting. Tomorrow I’m going to substitute the eggs with applesauce for my vegan friend. Hope it works!

    I love this loaf and make it almost every week in the fall! I’ve noticed that 45 min is way too long of a bake for us. At first I thought it was my oven, but we moved recently and I’ve run into the same thing at our new house. 35-38 min seems to be the sweet spot or the loaf comes out over-baked. I don’t run into this with any of the other recipes, so just thought I would share 🙂

      I agree. I set the timer for 30, and watch it closely from there.

    This was delicious! Substituted maple syrup for the honey. I also increased the spices significantly. I did 1 tbls of cinnamon and 1 tsp of ginger and nutmeg. Recipes never have enough cinnamon for me! I did not add chocolate chips.

    Hi! Do you think the quick oats could be omitted from the batter?

      Hi Marion, hmm they could but I haven’t tried it like that yet and might be a little too wet without them. I might add a little more oat flour depending on the consistency. Feel free to give it a try and let me know how it comes out!

      Really liked this recipe with oats. The oat flour I had also had rice and garbanza flour. Made a few modifications to reduce sugar, increase eggs, add flaxmeal, and more fresh grated ginger and nutmeg. Liked the raisins in mine. Had to make another loaf when done with first to share with others.
