How to Make Healthy Sweet Pumpkin Bread in the Microwave
While mini sweet pumpkins are delicious simply steamed, I recently tried making sweet pumpkin bread in the microwave, and it turned out to be incredibly simple to prepare, healthy, and surprisingly filling. It’s a fantastic nutritious snack!
Ingredients- 1 mini sweet pumpkin
- 3 eggs
- 30g sliced almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the mini sweet pumpkin thoroughly. Place it in the microwave and steam for about 5 minutes until softened. This will make it easier to handle. Tip: Adjust the steaming time based on the size of your pumpkin.
Step 2
Once removed from the microwave, cut the sweet pumpkin in half and carefully scoop out the seeds. Then, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Tip: It’s easier to remove the seeds while the pumpkin is still warm.
Step 3
In a blender, add the 3 fresh eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt for flavor, 1 tablespoon of honey for sweetness, and 30g of sliced almonds for a nutty crunch. Blend until smooth to create a base for your batter.
Step 4
Add the steamed sweet pumpkin pieces to the blender with the other ingredients. Blend again until everything is smooth and well combined. This will incorporate the pumpkin’s flavor and natural sweetness into the batter.
Step 5
Lightly grease a microwave-safe bowl with cooking oil. This prevents the bread from sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap, and then poke several small holes in the plastic wrap using a fork. Tip: These holes allow steam to escape, ensuring the bread bakes evenly and stays moist.
Step 6
The final step is baking! Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for about 6 minutes. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your bread is ready. Enjoy it warm!
