Since Halloween is Monday, from now until then will be pumpkin week. I made a version of this recipe previously and since then I have made it almost every week. The recipe was a banana zucchini bread, but today is a pumpkin zucchini bread. I like it just as much as the banana version, and is perfect to serve this fall!
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup Pumpkin Puree
1 cup finely grated zucchini, loosely packed
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup oil
1/2 milk of choice
1/2 cup pure maple syrup, agave, or honey
1 and 1/2 tbsp vinegar
1/2 – 1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350
Spray a 9×5 loaf pan very well, making sure to go up the sides
Put the oats in a blender and blend until a fine powder forms
Add all other ingredients (except optional chips) and blend until smooth
Stir in chips, if using
Pour the batter into the prepared pan
Then bake on the middle rack for 35 minutes
Turn the oven off, but DON’T open the oven
Let the bread sit in the closed oven for another 10 minutes
Then remove from the oven and let cool completely before going around the sides with a knife
