Pumpkin Seed & Pumpkin Spice High-Fiber Bread
Description
Pumpkin Seed & Pumpkin Spice High-Fiber Bread has a simple story: pumpkins were a treasured staple in the Americas for centuries, and the warm “pumpkin spice” flavors later arrived through global spice trade and home baking traditions.
Today, this loaf feels like the best of both worlds—old harvest comfort and modern, feel-good nutrition.
The moment it bakes, your kitchen fills with that cozy aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, the same kind of fragrance that makes people wander in and ask, “What are you making?”
Inside, the crumb is soft yet hearty, thanks to fiber-rich ingredients that make each slice satisfying instead of sugary. And then there are the pumpkin seeds—pepitas—adding a toasted, nutty crunch that tastes rustic and beautifully seasonal.
It’s the kind of bread that fits breakfast, snack time, or even a quick healthy dessert.
One bite feels like autumn… and somehow makes you want to bake another loaf immediately!

Instructions
To Make the Bread:
-
Gather your required ingredients.
-
Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Line or grease a loaf pan.
-
Grind the pumpkin seeds in a blender or food processor until finely ground.
-
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: sorghum flour, oat flour, protein powder, oat fiber, ground pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice.
-
Add the wet ingredients: pumpkin purée, eggs, Greek yogurt, sugar, vinegar, and water to the dry ingredients and mix until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
-
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium and fibers to hydrate.
-
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
-
Sprinkle whole pumpkin seeds over the surface, pressing them gently into the batter.
-
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the loaf is risen, set in the center, and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
-
Cool completely in the pan before slicing.
