Delicious Pumpkin Quinoa Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pumpkin Quinoa Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, ensuring your bread will slide out easily once baked. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, white sugar, canola oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground allspice, and ground cloves. This step not only combines the dry ingredients but also adds a bit of air, making your bread light and fluffy. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture, adding it a little at a time until the batter is smooth and creamy. Now, fold in the cooked quinoa, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries, giving your bread a delightful texture and flavor. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the top springs back lightly when touched. Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy a slice of this delicious pumpkin quinoa bread warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!
