Spicy whole wheat bread with pumpkin seeds, raisins, and butter. Less sugar for a healthier twist. Perfect make-ahead treat from Maine.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 1.5 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.66666668653488 cup raisins
  • 0.66666668653488 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions:
  • First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure the perfect baking temperature. Then, generously grease and flour three 7x3-inch loaf pans to prevent sticking and ensure a beautiful golden crust.
  • In a big bowl, thoroughly combine pumpkin puree, eggs, butter, buttermilk, and brown sugar. In a small bowl, mix whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Gently fold the flour mixture into the pumpkin mix until just combined. Carefully fold in raisins and pumpkin seeds. Pour into pans or muffin cups, then lightly sprinkle with raw sugar on top.
  • Bake in a hot oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 50 minutes.
