Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment. Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the smooth cottage cheese with pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined.
  3. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice over the wet mixture and fold just until no flour streaks remain.
  4. Pour batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing with a serrated knife.

Notes

Make sure you use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Let the bread cool all the way down before slicing so it holds its shape. The flavor deepens overnight, so this is a great make-ahead option.
