Pumpkin Bread with Probiotic Frosting

Grab your fork and dig into this holiday-ready Pumpkin Bread with Probiotic-Frosting. It’s the perfect way to welcome in the fall season and enter the holiday countdown. Made with Lifeway’s probiotic-rich original whole milk kefir, gluten-free flour, seasonal spices, pumpkin purée, and a few other ingredients, this is the quick bread recipe everyone will be asking you once they try it! Our kefir keeps the bread super tender with a flaky crumb without any toughness or strange texture. Kefir is a great stand-in for buttermilk and has a much higher nutritional value to it, plus natural protein!

The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it triggers the release of GLP-1.

Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our kefir, we also offer our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt for optimal heart-health benefits.
