Paleo Pumpkin Bread Loaf
  • Preheat oven 175°C  (350°F)
  • Line a loaf pan with baking parchment paper & allow the ends to hang over the edges slightly to make it easier to remove
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon
  • In a separate larger bowl, whisk the eggs together
  • Then add the pumpkin, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar
  • Slowly add 1-2 tablespoons of the flour mixture at a time to the egg mixture, mixing until fully incorporated but still a little runny
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan
  • Top the batter with the pumpkin seeds, pressing them gently into the batter which will ensure they get baked into the batter slightly and not fall off after baking
  • Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick can be inserted into the center and come out clean
  • Once it’s baked you can leave the bread in the pan for 2 hours to cool at room temperature
  • Once cooled, gently lift the bread from the pan using the sides of the parchment paper to remove & place on a wire rack
  • Once it’s removed allow it to cool some more if necessary & then cut the loaf into slices & enjoy with some (grass fed) organic butter or nut butter
  • If you don’t eat it all at once, this Paleo pumpkin bread can be stored in your refrigerator for up to one week
