Pumpkin recipes are everywhere and I’ve actually shared quite a few recently. We made a Pumpkin Spice Smoothie, Pumpkin and White Bean Alfredo, and a warm Pumpkin Latte. My family enjoys pumpkin and I love trying out new recipes and sharing them with you. This Pumped-up Pumpkin Quick Bread has flax, wheat bran, and unsweetened applesauce, however it still has the warmth of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. It’s definitely a twist on pumpkin bread that’s filled with hearty ingredients and tastes divine. This recipe makes three loaves so you’ll have plenty to share with your family and friends, or toss it in the freezer to have later!
