Olive Oil Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin spice bread is what fall is all about, really. This gluten-free, dairy free pumpkin bread is naturally sweetened with a moist richness from the olive oil and ample flavor from the cozy fall spices. On your next rainy day, bake a few loaves of this Just Date Syrup sweetened bread.
Ingredients
Wet-:
2 eggs
1 cup (205g) pure pumpkin puree
1/2 cup Just Date Syrup (or 50/50 with another sweetener)
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry:
3 cups (240g) GF oat flour (rolled oats, blended)
2 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
- Pre-heat oven to 350F
- In two separate large bowls, mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients
- Mix the dry into the wet to avoid clumps until just combined
- Add to a well-greased or lined bread pan
- Optional but recommended step: sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and a mixture of 1 tsp cinnamon + 1 tsp date sugar (the seeds add a nice crunch and the extra bit of course sugar on top gives it a bit of a caramelization!)
- Bake for 40-45 minutes
- Allow to fully cool on a baking rack before slicing (this is just to make sure it slices easily, if you’re unsure just feel the bottom!)
