Easy Microwave Sweet Pumpkin Bread: No Oven, No Flour, Healthy Snack
Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a super simple sweet pumpkin bread recipe that you can make easily without an oven or flour. Using mini pumpkins cooked whole makes the bread beautifully colored and it’s a fantastic healthy snack option. It’s perfect for kids’ snacks or when you want something light and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 mini sweet pumpkin
- 3 eggs
- 15g sliced almonds
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- A little olive oil
- A little shredded coconut (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the ingredients needed to make this delicious sweet pumpkin bread. Having everything washed and measured beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Since we’ll be using the pumpkin skin, it’s crucial to wash it thoroughly under running water. Sprinkle a little baking powder, rub the surface with your hands, and then rinse it several times with clean water. This method helps remove any surface impurities, making it safe to consume the skin.
Step 3
Place the thoroughly washed mini sweet pumpkin in a microwave-safe dish. Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap and microwave for about 3 minutes. This will slightly soften the pumpkin, making it easier to handle in the next steps.
Step 4
Carefully remove the slightly cooked pumpkin from the microwave and let it cool slightly on a rack. Then, cut it in half with a knife. Use a spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds from the center. Removing the seeds will ensure a smooth batter.
Step 5
Transfer the deseeded pumpkin to a blender. Crack in the 3 eggs, add the measured 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and 1 pinch of salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth, lump-free puree. Ensure it’s well-blended for the best texture.
Step 6
Lightly grease the inside of your microwave-safe dish with olive oil. This step is key to easily removing the bread once it’s cooked. Pour the smooth pumpkin mixture into the prepared dish.
Step 7
To add a nutty flavor and pleasant texture, sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the pumpkin mixture. Nuts not only enhance the taste and crunch but also boost the nutritional value!
Step 8
Cover the dish with a lid or plastic wrap again. Microwave for approximately 5 minutes, or until the sweet pumpkin bread is cooked through. Please adjust the cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage.
Step 9
Once cooked, let the sweet pumpkin bread cool slightly before slicing it into easy-to-eat portions. Arrange the slices on a plate. For an extra touch, sprinkle a little shredded coconut on top, if desired. Enjoy your delicious homemade sweet pumpkin bread!
