How to make it

  • Put 1/2 cup flax seeds and 1 cup oats into blender. Grind into a flour like consistency. Measure out 1 cup of the flour into a medium size bowl. Then measure out the rest of the flour into cup, add wheat germ to make a full cup. I measure it out this way because I often get varying levels of the flour mixture, so this makes things consistant.
  • Sift all-purpose flour, baking soda, and spices into the medium size bowl and mix. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pans with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl add pumpkin, sugars, 1/5 cup honey, water, and applesauce. Mix together and taste for preferred sweetness level. Add extra honey if neccesary(I generally use a little less than 1/4 cup). Gently mix in beaten eggs and oil.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Fold in veggies.
  • Pour into prepared pans. This recipe can make 2 9x5in loaf pans, or 5-6 5x3 mini loaves. I usually make 4 mini loaves {perfect for thank you or happy harvest gifts} and 12 mini muffins {perfect for hungry toddlers!: )}
  • Bake at 350 until toothpick comes out clean.
  • mini muffins 20-25 minutes
  • mini loaf 50-55 minutes
  • 9x5 loaf 60-65 minutes
  • NOTE:
  • When making this bread I generally use the big "almost got away squashes" from the garden. We always have atleast one that hides from us when it is small. The ones that are a little too big to be tender, but aren't woody yet. I grate all the vegetables together into a bowl and then mix them up. I freeze 3 cups of the mixed veggies in a quart size freezer bag. When I want to make the bread I pull out a bag to thaw. I drain them over a colander and squeeze the excess water from the veggies. The freezing helps to remove a lot of the moisture from the veggies, so that the bread is not too wet. If you are not going to freeze the veggies before use I would probably NOT use the extra 1/2 of water in the recipe. Enjoy! : )

    Pumpkin bread and zucchini bread are some of my favorites...what a tasty, healthy way to combine the two. Great use of grains that will up the protein count of this tasty, moist loaf. Saving this one for my next brunch with the girls!
