Makes 10 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40-45 minutes

What you need:

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup almond butter (or do a combo of tahini/almond butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 3 tbsps coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
     

What you do:

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Using a food processor or mixer, combine the eggs, almond butter, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, coconut oil and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. 
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger and sea salt. Add to wet ingredients and blend until smooth.
  4. Transfer the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. (You can test if it is done by inserting a toothpick. It will come out clean when the loaf is finished.)
  5. Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool entirely before slicing. 

Bon appétit!

Useful tips:

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. If not eating right away, wrap and store in the freezer.
  • Bake it as muffins instead. Baking time will decrease to 30 to 40 minutes.
