Hello all you lovely people!
I know, I know, I’ve been AWOL again lately. I feel like this a reoccurring trend once I hit midterms (I’m on the quarter system instead of the semester system, so this is basically every couple of weeks… le sigh) and it really bums me out that I feel too drained to blog. I miss you guys!
Anyways, one of my favorite ways to de-stress is to cook and bake and am so excited to share this recipe. It’s everything you could want in a good sweet bread: moist, bursting with flavor, and perfectly sweet. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best pumpkin bread I’ve ever had (HAH- take that Starbucks!).
And guess what? It contains no butter, mostly egg whites, and mostly whole wheat flour!
While I wouldn’t say that it has the nutritional stats of a carrot, it’s a great option for a healthier treat that still tastes absolutely delicious and like the real deal. Since I live in an apartment complex with well over 20 friends to share it with, the bread was gone in no time and nobody could even guess that they were enjoying a healthier treat. I promise, it won’t disappoint!
If you’re going to pin this recipe, please pin this picture below! Thank you!
Note: this recipe makes enough for one loaf and a some muffins. I haven’t yet mastered converting the recipe into two full loaves, but I’m working on it!
Enjoy and let me know how it turns out for ya!

Mmmmm, that looks seriously delicious, Christine! I do especially love your pin, haha. “I’m delicious!” I am pretty sure it is 😉 . I hope you’ll find some time to destress and take a break soon. University can really take it’s toll on one. Good thing Christmas season is right around the corner.

Davida @ The Healthy Maven says
We’ve missed you! This looks fab. And gorgeous pictures too! And you know what, I’d rather have more calories/fat/carbs etc…than no taste! You found the perfect balance between decadent and cardboard 😉 hehe

Life just gets busy at this time of year. Don’t apologize for living it! Although I’d much rather be blogging than studying, I don’t think it would help my future degree. I’ve been looking for a good pumpkin bread recipe since my fail last week! I will for sure be bookmarking this one for when I’m feeling brave enough to try again 😉
Kelly @ Kelly Runs for Food says
Looks delicious! I’m a sucker for pumpkin bread of all kinds!
Miranda @ Lovely Wife Lovely Life says
YUMMMMM <3 My mom has the best pumpkin bread recipe. I think it's pretty similar to this!
Emily @smilemilegirl says
That looks delicious!! If only I had whole wheat flour
Leigha @ Minougirl says
Yummy yummy!! I wish I shared my house with people – everything I eat gets split between me and my mom! I get sick of it!
Jackie @ Something About That says
That really does look delicious! I am trying to be more mindful of what I eat (mainly because I’ve had a rude awakening since getting a Fitbit and keeping track), so I will have to try this. I’m intrigued about how it turns out with so much whole wheat flour and no butter.

My dear- this recipe looks delicious & your photos turned out beautiful! is there really anything better than a slice of pumpkin bread smothered in peanut butter with chocolate chips thrown in?
Christine @ Gotta Eat Green says
This is the perfect fall/holiday loaf! And it can easily be adapted to be vegan. I am STILL obsessed with all things pumpkin.. so I will be giving this a go!
Julie says
I feel ya with the blogging thing, girl! This looks delicious though. I’m debating moving into your apartment complex since you always seem to be sharing goodies with your neighbors 😉 haha good luck with midterms!
