Pumpkin Bread
Submitted by Pauline Johnston, Norris Electric Cooperative
Ingredients
- 1 c. pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 c. maple syrup
- 1/2 t. Allspice
- 1/2 t. Cinnamon
- 1/2 t. nutmeg
- 2/3 t. baking soda
- 1/2 t. Salt
- 2 c. packed almond meal
- 1/2 c. whey protein powder or coconut flour measure and then sift
Optional stir-ins
- Handful toasted, chopped pecans and chopped crystallized ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease 2 small (7-3/8 x 3-3/8”) or 1 regular (9 x 5”) loaf pan. Cut a large strip of parchment paper to line pan for easy removal.
- Combine all ingredients, beating well with a hand mixer.
- Pour into loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool 20 minutes before using knife to separate edges from pan. Gently remove loaf. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. I like to slice when it is still pretty warm.
