Pumpkin Spiced Oat Bread

I know I'm not the only one that becomes absolutely pumpkin obsessed in the fall. Amiright? There is just something about the season that makes me want to consume pumpkin in every. single. form.

This Pumpkin Spiced Oat Bread recipe, just like all recipes you'll find on my site, is free of white flour, refined white sugar, and vegetable oils. A clean version that's JUST as tasty as its guilt ridden counterpart.

And quite possibly the best part of this bread? The smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger as it bakes to golden perfection. Dan wanted to encapsulate the aroma inside of a candle...but there is no candle that can touch the scent of warm spiced bread baking in the oven. No, not even you Mr. Yankee.

Not only does pumpkin taste ah-mazing, it's actually very nutritious, too! Low in calories, it packs many anti-oxidant vitamins like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.  It is also rich in B carotenes, cryptoxanthin, and lutein and minerals like copper, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.

A nutritional powerhouse AND it tastes great?! Sign. Me. Up.

There is plenty of that glorious pumpkin packed inside this Pumpkin Spiced Oat Bread - so eat up, and don't you feel guilty about it either.

And speaking of pumpkins, my little pumpkin Sawyer and I ventured out for a small photo session the other day. Oh boy, I thought his cuteness meter was close to capacity, but clearly it's overflowing. Just keeps getting cuter with each passing day.
