I had a feeling that Savory Pumpkin Spice>Sweet Pumpkin Spice. And voila, here's proof! A seasonal twist on a beloved recipe from my cookbook - this uses a whole cup of pumpkin puree and is moist and savory with a zing from the warming spices. It's exactly what the doctor ordered for soup season and to keep it cozy this fall. And wait, it’s low-carb, gluten-free and dairy-free with a vegan option!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup/120g chickpea flour

  • 1 heaped cup/120g blanched almond flour

  • 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed

  • ½ tsp. fine sea salt

  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder

  • 2 tsp. pumpkin spice (1 tsp ground cinnamon + 1/4 tsp ground cloves + 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg + 1/4 tsp ground ginger) - thanks AllRecipes!

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup/240g canned pumpkin puree

Directions

Step 1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

Step 2. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Lightly grease a 8.5"X4.5"X2.5" (21cmX11cmX6cm) loaf pan. Beat eggs lightly in a separate bowl.

Step 3. When oven temp reaches 350F, add pumpkin puree and beaten egg into dry ingredients and stir well with a spatula, breaking up lumps if any. The batter will be thick, the texture of wet sand.

Step 4. Transfer batter to loaf pan and distribute evenly using spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top and inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Step 5. Let cool 15-20 min. Loosen with a butter knife around the edges of the pan if necessary. Slice and serve.

To Veganize

Replace the 2 eggs with 2 flax eggs (using each Tbsp of flaxseed already in ingredients + 3 Tbsp water). Increase baking powder to 1.5 Tbsp.
