Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together together with a whisk. Add the eggs and whisk until blended. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.)
- Add the pumpkin purée, milk, pumpkin spice, baking soda, vanilla and salt, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! If you're adding any additional mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
- Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I haven't added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 55 minutes; if I have added mix-ins, it needs closer to 60 minutes). Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer the bread to a cooling rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cream sugar, oil and applesauce together.
- Add eggs. Mix well.
- Add spices, vanilla and pumpkin.
- Mix flour, baking soda and salt.
- Alternately add flour mixture and water or apple juice. Mix well.
- Pour into 3 greased small bread loaf pans or 1 greased large bread pan.
- Bake at 350F degrees for 30 minutes for smaller loaves or 45-55 minutes for large loaf.
Tips:
- Use a ripe pumpkin: A ripe pumpkin will have a deep orange color and be heavy for its size. The flesh should be firm and not stringy.
- Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to puree.
- Use a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour: This will give the bread a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add spices to taste: Pumpkin bread is traditionally flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. However, you can also add other spices, such as cloves, cardamom, or allspice.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Healthy pumpkin bread is a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin A, and potassium. This recipe is low in sugar and made with whole wheat flour, making it a healthier choice than traditional pumpkin bread. With its moist texture and flavorful spices, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
