Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Healthy – first off, this recipe is extremely healthy and great for almost all diet plans. I say almost because it has a wee bit of cholesterol so it may not be suitable for those on a low-cholesterol diet.

Easy to make – yes, you heard that right, even though it takes up to an hour to make, most of that time is spent in the oven. Simply mix all of your ingredients and pop this gal in the oven. No messy work like my cream cheese pumpkin muffins.

Anti-inflammatory – so you know I am always on the hunt for anti-inflammatory recipes thanks to my RA, so it’s only natural that this bread is on the list. Last but certainly not least, this pumpkin bread is a healthy breakfast or mid-day snack option.

How To Make Low-Calorie Pumpkin Bread

Always start by heating your oven, for this pumpkin bread recipe, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Next, line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.

Now it’s time to mix the wet ingredients, in a large bowl, combine the yogurt, applesauce, honey, eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla, and whisk until you have an even mixture.

Variations

You can make this pumpkin bread taste even better by adding some cream cheese topping or throwing in some semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I also love topping my pumpkin bread with some seeds like chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, or flaxseeds. You can also go crazy and throw in some nuts and even raisins. Just know that adding any other ingredients will increase the calorie count.
