Easy Homemade Pumpkin Bread

Breakfast & Brunch, Cooking for a Crowd, Recipes, Sweet Treats November 5, 2015

Even before pumpkin spice anything became a cult favorite on the Internet, I’ve been obsessed with all things pumpkin: pumpkin bread, pumpkin bread pudding, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin chili, pumpkin ice cream.

See also, 50 Pumpkin Recipes by Food Bloggers. I’ve made my point.

Something that has long since frustrated me about pumpkin bread recipes is that a lot of the recipes out there make two loaves of bread.

And you know what?

No matter how much you love pumpkin bread, there are times when two loaves of pumpkin bread is too much.

With the help of noosa yoghurt (with an h!), I made a seriously delicious pumpkin bread with lots of fall flavor and wholesome ingredients.

First, let’s talk about noosa yoghurt.

With a combination of sweet and tart taste plus a thick, velvety texture, the authentic family recipe and is all-natural, gluten-free, probiotic, and made with whole milk.

It’s available in pretty much every flavor you could possibly imagine and each tub is sweetened with honey and contains real fruit puree.

One of the things I love about noosa yoghurt is that each variety has its own unique purpose.

For example, the coconut variety, which tastes like ice cream, is for licking the container clean.

The tart cherry variety is for bringing to work as a snack, but eating it about 10 minutes into the work day because you can’t resist it.

When it comes to seasonal baking, the new pumpkin flavor or the plain variety will take you pretty far down the long, winding road of addiction to baked goods.
