Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2.0 large eggs
  • 0.333 cup olive oil
  • 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1.0 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2.0 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.0 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1.0 teaspoon salt
  • 1.0 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh herbs
  • 8.0 oz feta cheese
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.0 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1.0 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix. Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped herbs.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60.0 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10.0 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Use a fork or mixer to blend until it reaches a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the savory pumpkin bread while it's still slightly warm and serve it alongside the creamy feta dip. Garnish the dip with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Garnish the feta dip with fresh herbs for added flavor.
