A crisp, slightly sweet crust, crunchy walnuts, and hot, fresh cranberries that explode in your mouth as you bite into them. Oh, and pumpkin. Yes please.
Did I mention there’s no butter or oil and that this pumpkin bread is 100% whole wheat? Nothing but the best for you, friends.
Preheat oven to 350. In two large separate bowls, mix dry, then wet, and then combine, adding wet to dry and stirring gently until the mixture is uniform-ish.
Spoon the mixture into a non-stick or cooking sprayed bread pan – mine is 9×5. (You can also turn this into muffins by using a muffin tin instead – just bake 25 minutes).
Sprinkle some oats and about a teaspoon of brown sugar on top to make a nice crunchy crust
Pop the bread the oven for an hour – fork check to make sure it’s done.
And voila!
Cool bread on a wire rack while taking glamour shots
And then… dig in!
Happy Wednesday
No more procrastinating – I‘ve got to get back to work! I’m writing a paper for my Maternal and Children’s Health class about whether television viewing increases the risk of childhood obesity. So far, based on the studies I’ve found, it looks like – yes, it does! But for reasons you might not think – television watching doesn’t seem to be linked to the amount of physical activity a child gets – but it DOES seem to lead to increased food consumption (while watching TV). Interesting!
One bite into this bread and you will swoon.
