Flourless pumpkin bread (gf, paleo)
Eggs and pumpkin puree, cinnamon and almond meal and maple syrup come together in a beautiful celebration of fall, warm tea and inviting, cozy blankets. A lightly-sweetened loaf that would feel right at home alongside a warm cuppa.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup pumpkin 170 g, puree
- 1 cup ground almonds (120 g)
- ½ cup maple syrup (120 ml)
- 2 egg lightly beaten, large
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup walnuts 30 g, chopped, optional
- ¼ cup chocolate chips 45 g, optional, omit if fully paleo
- ¼ cup sliced almonds 25 g, or pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/170C. Grease a loaf pan with vegetable oil.
- Combine all the ingredients but the last three in a medium bowl, and stir well until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, if using. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and scatter the sliced almonds/pumpkin seeds over the top.
- Bake until the loaf is puffed and slightly browned and a tested inserted into the middle comes out clean, 35-40 mins. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 15 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 1 week.
