Low Sugar Pumpkin Oat Loaf

Eating pumpkin-packed foods in Autumn may be old news, but they’re so darn good, this trend is going nowhere. During Sukkot, we enjoy foods that remind us of the harvest. Given the timing of this holiday (September or October), pumpkin-forward dishes are perfect for noshing in the sukkah. 

Whether you’re celebrating Sukkot or Thanksgiving, or just a relaxing Shabbat, cozy up with a slice of this Low Sugar Pumpkin Oat Loaf, packed with warm spices and seasonal pumpkin. Have little ones? Try adding 1/2 cup chocolate chips for a kid-friendly spin on this tasty loaf, and encourage them to help stir the batter, and top the loaf with their favorite nuts and seeds.  

Ensure that you’re using pureed pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Can’t find it? Make your own pumpkin puree or try using sweet potato puree instead.

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
