Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (210g) 100% whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp (6g) pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, olive oil, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl until the mixture is velvety and fully emulsified.
  2. Sift the whole wheat flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet base. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together gently until no dry flour streaks remain.
  3. Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 9x5 inch loaf pan and smooth the top.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
