Pumpkin Raisin Nut Bread

This Pumpkin Raisin Nut Bread is made healthier with a couple secret ingredients. Super perfect for breakfast or a snack!

I love to bake and I love to bake breads, any type of breads. I love breads like banana breads, walnut breads, and pumpkin breads. I find them ideal for breakfast, perfect type of breakfast when you’re in a rush in the morning.

I modified this bread a little bit because I wanted to make it healthier, so I cut out the oil and replaced it with apple sauce and replaced some of the flour with rolled oats. You won’t miss the oil, trust me. The bread is still delicious and you’ll love it, and it’s now good for you.

I’ve been experimenting with replacing oil with apple sauce when baking these breads, trying to see if there would be a difference, in taste and in consistency. I have to tell you I haven’t been able to notice a difference. I always hated the fact that some of these breads call for up to a cup of oil to be added, which I always thought was ridiculous. Apple sauce is a great alternative and your breads still turn out moist and delicious.
