1-bowl butternut squash bread made with butternut squash purée, nut butter, and oat flour. Perfect for a hearty fall breakfast bread!
Hello!
Since we last chatted daylight savings time went into “Fall backwards” mode, leaving us with an extra hour of sleep and an abruptly dark dinnertime.
Everyone says that the day after Halloween is officially the start to the “holiday season”.
Nothing felt drastically different on November 1st save the mostly full bowl of Halloween candy by the door.
(I got a whopping TWO trick-or-treaters, guys!)
Bu when I scheduled my 8-week hair appointment with my stylist yesterday she said “Enjoy the holidays!”– that’s when it hit me.
I won’t see her until January and the holiday hustle is upon us, hair highlighted or not.
If you’re tired of pumpkin but still feeling like baking something cozy and orange, read on.
This 1-Bowl Butternut Bread is made with less than 10-ingredients that are vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and naturally sweetened!
How to Make 1-Bowl Butternut Bread
I dare you not to say butternut (commonly referred to in my house as b-nut) bread and smile.
It’s a thing.
This bread went through lots of trials but I wouldn’t take no for an answer because butternut bread is one plant-based alliteration I couldn’t do without.
Everyone loves a good before and after progress picture, right?
Last week I shared some ugly photos of the original bread on Instagram.
If that smashed and sunken bread was the “before”, consider this post the official “after”.
This b-nut bread warm, moist, perfectly sweet and spiced, and so easy to make.
What You Need to Make 1-Bowl Butternut Bread
Here’s what you need to make b-nut bread at your place:
- flax “egg”
- butternut squash purée
- Cece’s Veggie Co. Organic Butternut Squash Spirals
- neutral nut butter (I used almond butter!)
- pure maple syrup
- gluten-free oat flour
- baking powder
- ground cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
We started with a hearty gluten-free oat flour base that packed protein and fiber.
Almond butter adds healthy fats and replaces oil in this recipe.
Everything is naturally sweetened and refined sugar free with the use of pure maple syrup and warming spices.
Cece’s Veggie Co. Organic Butternut Squash Spirals
Butternut squash adds moisture and creaminess to the recipe.
For the butternut squash, I used a mix of butternut squash purée and Cece’s Veggie Co. Organic Butternut Squash Spirals to create a sweet squash flavor and orange color.
Don’t worry, we use an entire can of butternut squash purée in this recipe so you won’t have any forlorn leftovers.
If you don’t have butternut squash purée on hand you can sub pumpkin instead, or, make your own by blending up roasted butternut squash until smooth.
The Cece’s Veggie Co. Organic Butternut Squash Spirals add texture and intrigue to each slice.
I love these organic pre-packaged butternut squash noodles that are ready to go straight from the container with zero prep time required!
They’re perfect to finely chop and add to baked goods to emphasize the color and flavor of this bread.
How to Serve 1-Bowl Butternut Bread
This 1-Bowl Butternut Bread is ideal for a breakfast, snack, dessert, or sharing with friends this season.
It’s packed with protein, fiber, and complex carbs to keep you going strong this time of year!
Try baking a loaf to share at the office or gifting one for friends and family over the holidays.
For even more texture, try throwing in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or dried fruit.
I love mine smeared with nut butter and served with a glass of almond milk.
Enjoy!
