Pumpkin Bread With Diced Apples

Tender and lightly sweetened tasty pumpkin apple bread is the perfect snack when you want two of your favorite fall flavors in one delicious bite!

I woke up dreaming of this tasty bread and thought that I would squeeze in some baking time before getting on with my birthday activities yesterday.

It was a perfect morning listening to music in my pj’s sipping on coffee while dicing up an apple.

What a great way to fill the house with the homey smell of pumpkin spices!

Lightened Up Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin is such a great source of fiber and a healthy dose of Vitamin A in it’s natural state.

But as soon as the fat and sweetener is added the whole recipe can go from pretty healthy to a sugar bomb!

My goal was to keep the robust flavors of this bread intact, which I’m happy to say was accomplished.

Some of the adjustments I made as to use coconut oil in place of vegetable or canola oil. I also added sugar-free applesauce, whole grains, and real chunks of apple pieces.

Adjust the sweetener to your preference

The other adjustment I made was to limit the sugar. My recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of sugar, which may be quite a bit lower from some of the other bread recipes you’ve enjoyed.  

Even with the low amount of sugar this bread is still a treat and tastes like one!

The apple also adds some sugar, so I think this pumpkin apple bread is perfectly balanced, but feel free to add more sweetener or swap it for maple syrup or stevia if you would like.

Pumpkin Apple Bread With Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

Have you tried baking with whole wheat pastry flour?

It’s such a nice way to add whole grains to baked goods keeping the tender fluffy texture without the the heavy twiggy taste of whole wheat.

Interested in mixing up the flavors?  Try using Apple Pie Spice in place of the Pumpkin Pie Spice. Both are so flavorful!

    I love the apple chunks baked within the bread! It ads texture and crunch that is more subtle then adding a nut.

    This bread looks so tasty and I’m really interested in trying the whole wheat pastry flour now. I love the combination of the two best flavors of fall and could totally see making this into muffins to easily freeze them for quick breakfasts on the go!
