Healthy Pumpkin Loaf

Pumpkin Loaf

Ingredients below, full step by step after. I hate the spacing of this, but that's what you get when you do it all yourself :) 

1 egg

100g egg whites

150g 0% plain greek yogurt

60ml milk

60g apple sauce

200g canned pumpkin pie mix

100g all purpose flour

40g almond flour

30g flax seeds, ground

40g vanilla whey protein powder

40g date sugar

1.5 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

Dash salt

 

45 minutes @ 350°. Cover for last 15 minutes

Makes 12 slices, nutrition per slice:

You'll need 2 mixing bowls, a loaf tin, parchment paper, tin foil, a whisk, measuring spoons, and a spatula. I always recommend using a kitchen scale (you'll need one for this since most everything is in grams).

Start by adding all the wet ingredients into a bowl; the egg, egg whites, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and apple sauce (pumpkin pie mix is added later). Whisk everything together until combined.

Add the dry ingredients to a second bowl; all purpose flour, almond flour, ground flax seeds, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, date sugar (or your sweetener of choice), cinnamon, and salt. Again, whisk everything together until combined!

Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stir until the batter is lumpless, and add in the pumpkin pie mix. 

Stir in your chocolate chips, then add the batter to a parchment lined loaf tin. Once your oven is preheated to 350°, bake the loaf for 30 minutes before. After 30 minutes, take the loaf out and cover with tin foil for the last 15 minutes.

Let cool & enjoy!
