Hey-hey, my foodies! How is your week going?
It’s that time again on Lean Lena! Tasty Tuesday Linkup Party:)
So the everything pumpkin season is upon us, and I am no exception to the “cook with pumpkin” craze spreading across the US as a wild fire 🙂 🙂 🙂
Anyway, I resisted as long as I could but then this awesome recipe from the Lean Green Bean landed in my mailbox…and I could not resist anymore – I had to make that easy pumpkin bread! So I modified the recipe a little bit and I already made this bread twice – it’s that good! In fact, my husband went grocery shopping this weekend and bought a can of pumpkin puree, even though it was not on the list. Do you catch his drift? 🙂 I did!
Anyway, here is my slightly modified recipe for you – my version of Lindsay’s Pumpkin Bread.
Easy Pumpkin Bread (Original Recipe by the Lean Green Bean)
You will need:
- 1 avocado, mashed really well
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine mashed avocado, pumpkin, eggs and sugar in a large bowl and mix well.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined.
- Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Now, how easy is that? SUPER easy. You just have to tell your friends about it:

Interesting, I would never have thought of adding mashed up avocado! Do you taste it in the finished product?

It replaces butter and if you mash it up really well you can’t taste it at all!
