This Pumpkin Walnut Bread is a delightful Fall treat that is not overly sweet and made with seeds, nuts and whole wheat flour!
Savor the season with a daily slice of pumpkin walnut bread paired with pumpkin spice shake for a tasty and nourishing combination that you'll surely fall in love.
It’s that time of the year when all the pumpkin-flavored everything (even floss!) are flooding the store shelves and taking over the internet. It is the biggest food-frenzy during these months and luckily it can come in many forms too!
We are food lovers at heart. Not because we need to eat to live, but rather because we live our lives madly in search for the next best meal. But when pumpkin season arrives, the craziness gets multiplied and goes far beyond the food isle.
What’s So Special About Pumpkin Walnut Bread?
Hmm... the flavor itself!
And the flexibility to infuse this delicious pumpkin flavor into so many things!
It doesn’t take much. Pumpkin has a very distinct flavor, color and odor which makes it very easy to manipulate our favorite recipes into fall-inspired ones like this pumpkin roasted cauliflower, which adds quite a bit of flavor to what would otherwise be, a bland vegetable. And of course, all the baked goods like pumpkin cookies, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin donuts!
Now with this Pumpkin Walnut Bread, the list is complete!
This Pumpkin Walnut Bread Recipe includes your basic cake with fall inspired flavors such as cinnamon, ginger, walnuts, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds and of course pumpkin!
Not overly sweet and made with whole wheat flour, this delicious pumpkin snack bread has walnut pieces in every bite, and a super soft and moist texture with deep flavors. Perfect for an afternoon snack, paired with a delicious pumpkin latte!

This bread is amazing. I never leave recipe reviews, but I had to let others know that it is easy to make, has good ingredients, and is delicious. Thanks for providing this recipe.
Silvia Ribas says
Aww thank youuuu! So happy to hear, and thanks for your feedback!
CC says
If you use self rising flour you can ommit the baking powder and salt, also the 3 eggs add the extra moisture you could just do 2 large eggs if you prefer. This is pretty much the basic base recipe for banana bread, just add in the special spices and change the pumpkin to bananas;)
2 eggs, flour, brown sugar for the maple syrup and 4 bananas:))nuts, cinnamon & vanilla are optional
JOHN says
Easy to make and came out great. I will use a full cup of pumpkin next loaf. I will also press the topping into the batter a bit. It's super out of the oven with butter too. I will also try using a glass loaf pan. It the parchment paper necessary if I grease and flour the pan. I am always trying new things.
