This bread is a wonderful gluten free alternative and it is moist and delicious. Served with almond or peanut butter or some apple butter spread on top of your slice. Invite some friends over and enjoy a nutritious pumpkin treat.
Ingredients
Ingredients
1 ½ cups almond meal flour (or your favorite gluten free flour blend)
1 ½ cups organic oats
3 Tablespoons flax meal
1 Tablespoon hemp seed
1 Tablespoon chia seed
¼ cup whey based protein powder (vanilla or pumpkin flavored)
¼ cup brown sugar or honey
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs
3 Tablespoons almond milk
2 Tablespoons coconut oil
1 cup pumpkin puree
¾ cup unsweetened applesauce (I used homemade apple butter)
⅓ cup raisins
⅓ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix together all wet ingredients in a small bowl.
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until moistened throughout.
Add nuts and raisins and stir just a bit to blend in.
This pumpkin bread is not as sweet as conventional pumpkin bread so feel free to add an extra ¼ cup brown sugar or honey if it suits your taste.
Bake 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes if using small pans and 60 minutes if using a regular loaf pan. This can also be made into muffins and you would reduce the baking time to 25-30 minutes.
