Hubs & I have a cruise coming up in two weeks, woohoo! With that in mind, I was craving a sweet bread for breakfast but didn't want to kill my calorie count for the day. After a little google searching, I found a pumpkin bread recipe and tweaked it just a bit to make it healthy and incorporate what I had in the house. I warned J that it may not taste as good as usual due to the health factor, but he loved it just the same. I did too! Bonus on this recipe? It's super easy. One-bowl-wonder. Love.
Special thank you to my Auntie Elisa who gave me 2-cup packs of her fresh, homemade pumpkin puree. Healthy, delicious super food. Thanks Auntie!!
