The aromatic smell of spiced pumpkin bread recalls baking with Granny as a child. She helped you measure the ingredients, patiently showing you how to scoop out and level flour, while secretly correcting your mistakes. Thanks to her experienced, watchful eye, now you know how to create your own version of the old favorite with a few modern twists. Unlike the kind you grew up eating, your pumpkin loaf uses healthy oat flour, protein powder and a zero-calorie sugar substitute. But it still evokes the pleasant smell and irresistible flavor that reminds you of Gran’s.
