Skinny on Healthy Slow Cooker Pumpkin Bread

To make this healthy slow cooker pumpkin bread, a wee bit more WW friendly, I made the following adjustments:

• I decreased the oil just a bit, from ⅓ cup to ¼ cup.
• Substituted ½ cup maple syrup and ½ cup brown rice syrup for the honey.
• And cut back a little on the nuts and raisins.

For any recipe that calls for canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), you could always substitute your own WW friendly fresh pumpkin puree.

Everyone who sampled this healthy slow cooker pumpkin bread really liked it. I think you will too.

Ingredients

• ▢ ¼ cup oil
• ▢ 1 cup honey, maple syrup or brown rice syrup, or a combination (I used ½ cup maple syrup and ½ cup brown rice syrup)
• ▢ 2 large eggs
• ▢ 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree (affiliate link)
• ▢ 2 tablespoons water
• ▢ ¼ cup raisins, chopped
• ▢ ¼ cup chopped nuts
• ▢ 1-½ cups , plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat)
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

• Ideal slow cooker size: 6-Quart or larger (make sure your loaf pan (affiliate link) fits inside your slow cooker).
• Coat a loaf pan (affiliate link) that will fit into your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. (I used an 8x4-inch loaf pan (affiliate link).)
• Create a trivet that will fit into the bottom of your slow cooker. You can make a coil from aluminum foil. Or use several of the metal rings from canning jars (affiliate link).)
• In a medium bowl mix together the oil, honey, eggs, pumpkin, water, raisins and nuts until well blended.
• In a large bowl whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
• Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until mixed together.
• Pour into the prepared loaf pan (affiliate link).
• Place the loaf pan (affiliate link) on the trivet in your slow cooker.
• Prop the lid open at one end with a wooden spoon (affiliate link) handle or chopstick to let steam escape.
• Cook on HIGH for 3-½ to 4 hours, until a tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Carefully, wearing oven mitts, remove the hot loaf pan (affiliate link) from the hot crock pot.
• Place the loaf pan (affiliate link) on a rack to cool for 10 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edges of the loaf pan (affiliate link) and then invert it onto the cooling rack (affiliate link).
• Turn back right side up and wait at least 10 minutes before attempting to slice.
