Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar) add more if you want it sweeter
- 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1/3 cup almond butter (cashew butter or tahini works too)
- 1 can (15oz) 100% pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and ground flaxseed. Whisk until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, add the maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla, almond milk, almond butter, and pumpkin. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined. Don’t over mix! Over mixing will result in a dense/tough loaf.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Mine took about 55 minutes, but every oven is different.
- Let it cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove loaf from the pan and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy! Store in an airtight container, ziploc bag, or wrap with plastic wrap. The flavors are even better the next day!
