Ingredients
  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup whole buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup Viking Farms Dark Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 ounces white whole-wheat flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and oats, allowing them to stand for 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, maple syrup, oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Stir in the oat mixture and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add this flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture, whisking just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake at 350°F until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 60 to 65 minutes. Let the Pumpkin Loaf cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
