Pumpkin Raisin Bread with Greek Yogurt is a delicious and healthier pumpkin bread recipe!
So my garden turned out not so great this year. I started planting it a bit late and then got bronchitis and a sinus infection before I finished planting. So my zucchini and squash burned up in the Texas heat before I got any produce off them.
I did get a lot of peas, beans, onions, and some carrots and salad greens and one very surprising thing: PUMPKINS. You see pumpkins were surprising because I didn’t even plant pumpkins. I had thrown a couple out into the compost pile last fall and surprise, surprise massive pumpkin vines sprouted up and took over a large section of my garden. What a wonderful unexpected blessing.
I was able to harvest several pumpkins before I went to Idaho. I cook the pumpkin, pureed it (find out how to make pumpkin puree here), and put it in the freezer. Knowing it would be there for fall when I got back.
The pumpkin raisin bread was the first recipe I’ve tried with the pumpkin and it turned out yummy. I still have some puree in the fridge that I need used up soon; so look for another pumpkin recipe coming next week! (or the week after)

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup raisins, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt and spices) and set aside.
- In a stand mixer (or use whatever you have), combine sugars, eggs, pumpkin and yogurt and mix until combined.
- Add the flour mixture a third at a time; mixing after each addition.
- Fold in raisin by hand and pour into a prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes.
{Note: I don’t know if it was my goofy oven or just the bread in general but the edge on my bread started to get really dark. So I covered the edges on my bread with foil to keep them from being too dark. So you might want to check your bread after about 40 mins.}
Hope you enjoy! Have any suggestions on what I should make next with my pumpkin?
