I created a healthier version of traditional pumpkin bread with a higher protein content.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup applesauce
- ½ cup medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil
- 12 drops liquid stevia
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 scoops whey protein powder
- ½ cup pecans, finely ground
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat 2 muffin tins with cooking spray.
Step 2
Whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, water, applesauce, MCT oil, stevia, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.
Step 3
Stir flour, protein powder, ground pecans, flaxseed meal, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together in a separate bowl. Pour over pumpkin mixture and mix until batter is just moistened.
Step 4
Scoop batter into the prepared tins, filling each cup 2/3 full.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes.
