A few days ago, Annelies from Attune Foods sent me a box of their Uncle Sam cereal to review. You all know I’m a cereal lover, so I was excited to try it out!
After sampling a few handfuls straight from the box, I decided to get creative in the kitchen and come up with a recipe incorporating Uncle Sam cereal. The result?
Uncle Sam’s Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread

Ingredients:
-       2 c whole wheat pastry flour
-       1 T cinnamon
-       1 t nutmeg
-       ¾ t baking powder
-       1 ½ c canned pumpkin
-       1 c maple syrup
-       ¼ c non-dairy milk (I used unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze)
-       2 T canola oil
-       2 c Uncle Sam cereal, plus ¼ c for topping
-       ¾ c chopped walnuts
Directions
-       Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheight
-       Grease 9×5 loaf pan with oil of choice (I used Earth Balance)
-       In a mixing bowl, combine pastry flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking powder. Set aside
-       In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin, maple syrup, non-dairy milk and canola oil until thoroughly combine. Add to flour mixture.
-       Fold in 2 c cereal and chopped walnuts. Stir until evenly distributed.
-       Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with remaining cereal and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
I realize that I’m a few months early in breaking out the pumpkin, but who can resist a slice of pumpkin bread? This recipe is perfectly sweet without being too dessert-like. I enjoyed a slice with Earth Balance, almonds and blueberries for breakfast this morning:
Uncle Sam also has great stats. So many cereals are loaded with sugar and unpronounceable ingredients, so I love how simple this is. Plus plenty of protein and fiber!
