Spiced Pumpkin and Walnut Bread

Pumpkins are in season right now so guess what? I’m making alllll the pumpkin recipes. This one is a delightfully moreish spiced pumpkin and walnut bread, which is satisfyingly fluffy and healthy!! Baking this bread will release the most appetising aromas into your house - and smell just like comforting cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg! I suggest serving this with butter and honey, or perhaps goats cheese and grilled peaches - whatever floats your boat!

This recipe is also wheat, gluten and refined sugar free!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/2 cup coconut flour

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp nutmeg

• 1 tsp ginger

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup of pumpkin puree (I roasted some pumpkins, then scooped out the flesh and blended it to a purée)

• 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil

• 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2/3 cup of walnuts, divided

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat your oven to 175 C fanforced or 350 F. Grease a loaf tin and line it with baking paper.

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together. Add about half the walnuts to the bowl and mix. Next, add the remaining wet ingredients and blend everything together with a hand mixer on medium speed until just combined.

• Pour the batter into your loaf tin, sprinkle with the remaining walnuts, and cook for 45 minutes or until a tester comes out clean! Please enjoy!
