Healthy Pumpkin Spice Bran Bread

Skip to Recipe|Print Recipe
What an exciting week! I’m ready for some pumpkin! We had my sister’s bridal shower last weekend, and it was a lot of fun.

The weather here in Nashville has started to change! Fall is my favorite season (I know I am not alone). I love the crisp air, and the apples. I love apples.

I love that it’s football season, and I get to make tail gate food. I love that the holidays are around the corner. Fall gives me energy and excitement.

It’s like a new beginning. Anyways… In the spirit of fall I made this Healthy Pumpkin Spice Bread.

Healthy Pumpkin Spice Bran Bread is gread for busy mornings. This bran bread is a great breakfast recipe or eat as a snack throughout the day! | The Hungry Waitress

I mixed pumpkin puree into a nutty bran mixture, and tada! It turned out beautifully. There is nothing like slathering butter on a piece of bread fresh out of the oven.

To jazz it up I topped this warm pumpkin loaf with chopped pecans and organic sugar crystals (I was too lazy to make a streusel).
