This pumpkin bread remains to be grain free however options nutty almond flour as a substitute of my different coconut flour model. I additionally included a scrumptious maple glaze that sinks into the bread whereas it’s nonetheless heat. A slice of this with some grass-fed butter and a cup of tea tastes superb on a cold (or not so chilly!) morning.
Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread

Thanks to the almonds and eggs every serving has a good quantity of protein. And the pumpkin is a superb supply of vitamin A and fiber.
