A wholesome, protein-packed pumpkin bread with oat flour, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and dark chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, offering about 7 grams of protein per slice and a moist, tender texture infused with warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cup oat flour (measure by scooping and leveling, don’t pack it down)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (do not use pumpkin pie filling with added sugars and spices)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup packed vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F; line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oat flour, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. Stir mixture with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in dark chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth top, and sprinkle reserved chocolate chips over the surface.
  6. Bake loaf for 35–45 minutes, checking at 35 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove bread from oven and cool to room temperature on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can mix cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice as a fresh substitute., To keep gluten free, ensure the oat flour is certified gluten free., For muffins, grease a muffin tin, fill cups evenly with batter, and bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes., You can substitute chocolate protein powder or unflavored protein powder; plant-based protein may require more moisture., Add chopped nuts or seeds instead of chocolate chips for variation., Use thick coconut or soy yogurt and dairy-free protein powder for a dairy-free option; texture and protein content may vary., Freeze sliced bread wrapped tightly for quick snacks later.
