Treat yourself over the weekend to a delicious slice of Pumpkin Bread. I made this bread with my own homemade almond flour as opposed to store bought. The almond flour had a coarse texture but it tasted great and worked really well in the bread. To make almond flour I soaked (300 grams) almonds overnight, dried them out in the oven (70 degrees) for about 4-5 hours then blitz them in the food processor, pop them in a glass jar and bake till your heart’s content.
The pumpkin bread is gluten free using almond and coconut flour. I added raw cacao nibs to give it that chocolate taste and dates were used as a sweetener. You can use honey or rice syrup (1/4 cup) if you do not have dates. This bread will have mouthwatering aromas flowing throughout the kitchen and is really worth the effort. I had a slice with melting grass fed butter and coffee.
Ingredients
1 cup Homemade Almond Flour or Store bought
½ cup Coconut Flour
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch Pink Rock Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon All Spice
1 cup Homemade Pumpkin Puree or Canned Pumpkin
¼ cup Coconut Oil, melted
1 teaspoon Raw Honey, melted
3 Medjool Dates, blend in the food processor to make a paste
3 tablespoons Raw Cacao Nibs
3 Free Range Eggs
3 tablespoons Coconut Milk
Method
- Make pumpkin puree alternatively you can use canned pumpkin.
- Preheat oven 180 degrees.
- In a food processor blend the dates together to make a paste like consistency (do not add water). Remember to remove the stones.
- In a large mixing bowl add almond flour, coconut flour, sieve baking soda, salt, cinnamon and all spice, mix together.
- In a separate mixing bowl add pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, melted honey, date paste, eggs and coconut milk, mix together.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and combine, mix well. Pour into a silicone bread pan and pop in the oven for 1 hour (this will vary with different ovens), until golden brown and firm in the middle. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the bread; if the toothpick comes out clean the bread is ready.
- Allow to cool before delving in.
