== Ingredients ==
* 3 tablespoons canola oil
* ¾ cup homemade or canned pumpkin purée
* ½ cup honey
* 3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
* 2 eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 cup whole-wheat (whole-meal) flour

== Directions ==
# Preheat the oven to 350°F.
# Lightly coat an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
# In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, beat together the canola oil, pumpkin puree, honey, brown sugar and eggs until well blended.

# Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and, using the electric mixer on medium speed, beat until well blended.
# Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
# Sprinkle the hazelnuts evenly over the top and press down gently to lodge the nuts into the batter.
