Remove the skin and blend the cooked pumpkin until smooth. Measure out 425 g (15 oz) for the recipe. Short on time? Use 15 oz of plain canned pumpkin purée instead. Make sure it's 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. 🥣 STEP 2 - PREPARE THE BATTER 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. Line two small loaf pans with parchment paper. 3. Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. 4. Beat the eggs with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. 5. Add the pumpkin purée, yogurt, vanilla extract, orange zest, and melted butter. Mix until combined. 6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. 7. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined. 8. Fold in some of the pumpkin seeds, reserving the rest for the topping. 🍞 STEP 3 - BAKE YOUR PUMPKIN BREAD 1. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans. 2. Smooth the tops and sprinkle with the remaining pumpkin seeds. 3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–60 minutes, depending on your oven and pan size. 4. Insert a wooden toothpick into the center. A few moist crumbs are fine, but there should be no wet batter. 5. Allow the loaves to cool before removing them from the pans and slicing. ☕ STEP 4 - SERVE AND ENJOY Slice your freshly baked pumpkin bread and serve it with a cappuccino, coffee, or your favorite tea. Now close your eyes and imagine that wonderful aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, and freshly baked bread filling your home! Invite your family and friends, share a slice, and let everyone enjoy your homemade masterpiece. ❤️ LOVE HOMEMADE RECIPES?
