Pumpkin season starts NOW! What? Orange you glad fall is coming? I, for one, am shocked I made it a whole week into August before busting out the canned pumpkin. This loaf is super simple to make, absolutely hits all the fall flavor notes, and best of all, it won’t make you plump-kin because it’s high protein, low calorie. Don’t even get me started on that drizzly cinnamon glaze…
Pumpkin Protein Loaf With Cinnamon Glaze
A simple quick bread with perfect fall flavors.
You can sub any “just add water” pancake mix if you don’t need to be gluten free.
Ingredients
FOR THE BREAD*200 grams (1 1/4 cup) Orgain GF protein pancake mix
*45 grams Quest vanilla or cinnamon crunch protein powder
*1 TBS pumpkin pie spice
*2 large eggs
*1 tsp vanilla extract
*122 grams (1/2 cup) Libby’s pure pumpkin
*2/3 cup Fairlife fat free milk (skim also works)
*1 TBS sugar free syrup
FOR THE GLAZE
*1/2 cup Lakanto powdered monkfruit or regular powdered sugar
*1 tsp cinnamon *2 TBS fat free or skim milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 and spray an 8×4 (I used this size) or 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice; set aside
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, syrup, and milk until smooth
- Dump dry mix into the wet mix and whisk just until everything comes together
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth out
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly from the center of the loaf; if you use a 9×5 pan, it will cook faster
- Let loaf cool in pan for 10 minutes before turning out to a cooling rack to cool completely
- Once bread has cooled, mix the powdered monkfruit, cinnamon, and milk to create a thick glaze
- Pour glaze on top of loaf and use the back of a spoon to force some of the glaze over the sides
- Slice into 6 servings; keep in fridge
- To warm, wrap in damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds or place in a toaster for a minute
