Want all the fall flavor with none of the guilt? This delicious skinny pumpkin bread is so moist & amazing–you’ll never believe it is only 125 calories per slice!
There is just something about fall.
Come September I am ready for boots and sweaters and a whole lot of coziness. I crave maple syrup and hot apple cider and soup of all kinds.
And pumpkin. Oh, how I crave pumpkin!
This year, since I am still *trying* to be good, I thought I would forgo my favorite Starbucks Pumpkin Loaf for a skinnier, healthier version. My expectations weren’t actually that high, but it was a fun Saturday project for the girls and I, and amazingly enough, our skinny pumpkin bread was incredible! Moist, delicious, with awesome texture and flavor and only 125 calories per slice (at 12 slices per loaf). What more could you want?
Step 1: Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in large bowl; set aside.
Step 2: Beat eggs & sugar on low until mixed, then on high for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Add banana, vanilla, coconut oil, and Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk. Blend for one minute. In a pinch the sweetened almond milk will work too, it will just make the bread slightly sweeter and slightly higher in calories. (The unsweetened almond milk contains only 30 calories per cup!)
Step 4: Add 2 cans pumpkin; mix until blended.
Step 5: With mixer on low, slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients.
Step 6: Blend until mixed well, but do not over stir!
Step 7: Grease or spray 4 loaf pans with cooking spray. (I like the size of the disposable ones, which I wash and reuse every time. ) Divide the batter into the four pans. Tap each one gently on counter to remove air bubbles.
Step 8: Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, until knife inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely. Makes 4 loaves.

Hi,
What is the Calories on this recipe?
The calories per slice are about 125 but it also depends on how large you make the slice.
Is there anything I can use to substitute for the sugar?
Can't wait to try this! How do you store the bread?
Regardless of all the excellent features SEnuke hadtheir blunders.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on skinny pumpkin bread.

Hi! Did you measure the oil when it was solid or melt it and then measure 2/3 cup? Thank you!
I measured it when it was in liquid form.
I'm allergic to nuts. Is there something I can substitute in place of the almond milk?
Reg milk, coconut milk, soy milk....or possibly water, apple juice...anything liquid would work.

Can you use almond or coconut flour instead of wheat flour?
I can't wait to try this! But quick question, what size cans of pumpkin are you using? I have the giant Sam's Club size cans in my pantry right now, I'd imagine that's not the size you were going for - please advise!
My cans were the 15oz size.
