Paleo Pumpkin Bread


  • 450 g (15.8 oz/ 3 cups) grated raw pumpkin (winter squash)
  • 4 whole organic or free-range eggs
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml/ 2 fl oz)) olive or macadamia nut or cold pressed coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons gluten free baking (you can also use (3/4  teaspoon baking soda + a tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 3 cups (300g/ 10  1/2 oz) fine almond meal (fine almond flour, ground almonds)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional )
  • pumpkin seeds to sprinkle on top  (optional)



Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 150 – 160 C. Fan forced or 180 C if your oven has no fan.
  • Combine the pumpkin, eggs, salt, nutmeg and oil into a bowl.
  • Add the almond meal and baking powder and mix well.
  • Line a loaf tin with baking paper at the base and the sides.The size I used was: 10 1/2 cm wide and 26 cm long.
  • Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and sprinkle the top with the pumpkin seeds.
  • Bake for approximately 1  1/2 hours – check after 1 hour and test as times may vary depending on your oven and temperature.

Remove from the oven and allow to rest in the tin for 1 hour before removing from the tin.
Cool and enjoy slices with avocado or topped with my  macadamia nut butter.
Serves 16.
