Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

  2. In a blender or food processor, blend pumpkin, butter, eggs, and egg whites. Mix in the brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Blend until smooth, and transfer to a medium bowl.

  3. Mix yogurt and polenta into the pumpkin mixture. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

  4. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before slicing.

Recipe Yield

1 8-inch baking dish

Recipe Note

The grainy texture of polenta and the marriage of flavours of pumpkin and sweet spices create a unique versatile loaf. Can also be made with cooked sweet potato or butternut squash instead of pumpkin. Serve warm or cold with savoury or sweet dishes.
