Ingredients
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree (170 g)
- 1 cup ground almonds (120 g)
- ½ cup maple syrup (120 ml)
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional) (30 g)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional, omit if fully paleo) (45 g)
- ¼ cup sliced almonds or pumpkin seeds (25 g)
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.
