Stu: Eating clean non-processed meals can hit hard if you’ve been raised on bread (weren’t we all) as you’ll soon realise a void in your daily diet. Emma from Primal-Life over the ditch in NZ has shared an awesome pumpkin loaf recipe that could relieve the pain 🙂
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- Alternative; supercharge your loaf by taking out 1/2 cup of almond flour and replacing it with 1/2 cup 180 Natural Protein Superfood (coconut)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped mixed sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds
- 2 Tbs chia seeds
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 60g melted butter or coconut oil
- Extra pumpkin, chia and sunflower seeds for topping
Start the clock…
- Put dry ingredients and seeds in a bowl and mix
- In another bowl beat eggs until light and fluffy
- Mix together pumpkin puree and butter
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and fold until just mixed
- Spoon into 14 x 23cm lined loaf tin
- Top with some chai seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds and bake 160c for 40-45 mins
Notes:
- 1 cup of almond flour and 1 cup of buckwheat can be used as an alternative to make a loaf that holds together better (easier to cut and butter)
- Supercharge your loaf by taking out 1/2 cup of almond flour and replacing it with 1/2 cup 180 Natural Protein Superfood (coconut)
- Add a grated zucchini to the mixture
