Ingredients
- one 15 ounce can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled old fashioned oats
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray two large loaf pans with nonstick baking spray. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, sugar, yogurt, water and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
-
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add these dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until combined but do not over mix.
-
Split the batter between the two loaf pans. Sprinkle rolled oats on top of loaves. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes depending on the size of your loaf pans. A toothpick or a knife inserted in the middle should come out clean when the bread is done baking.
-
Let cool 10-15 minutes in pans before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
