Once October rolls around, my pantry fills up with pumpkin – pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin cookies are pretty popular.. you might even find pumpkin soup going on in this house of ours.
We are in love with pumpkin.
And while we try to stay away from grains, and wheat for our boys (you can read why HERE), it is incredibly challenging to give them pumpkin bread when traditional recipes call for lots of sugar, even more flour, and so much butter it just makes me panic looking at the recipe.
We were excited when we found this recipe for Moist Organic Pumpkin Bread, as it still allowed the boys to have their favorite bread for lunch and for a snack.. and I didn’t feel guilty about letting them have it for sake of their teeth.
