During Autumn, we head indoors as the weather cools. And, we turn to baking with our favorite fruit, which of course are pumpkins! This whole wheat pumpkin raisin bread recipe uses whole wheat flour instead of regular white flour. And it uses honey as a sweetener in lieu of sugar, making it just a little healthier for you. Best of all, it tastes really good!
Yield: 3 loaves
Pumpkin Trivia: In 1584 upon seeing it for the first time, a French explorer called them “gros melons. This translates into Latin as “pepon”, or a large melon. It wasn’t until the 17th century when American colonists first referred to them as pumpkins.

Kitchen Cleaning Tip
Kitchen cupboards collect all sorts of food crumbs and dust. Using a rag to clean your cupboards takes time. What’s more, it’s all but impossible to remove debris tucked into the corners. Rather than struggling with a rag, use your vacuum cleaner. Simply use the brush attachment. Undoubtedly, you’ll love the results and save time, too
