Paleo Pumpkin Bread with Chai Spiced Glaze
Recipe adapted from Well Plated
Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 1.5 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Chai Glaze:
- 4 tbsp coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- pinch cloves
- pinch ginger
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Use a non-stick spray and grease an 8x4 loaf pan, and line with parchment paper to create a sling.
- Mix together your dry ingredients in a medium large bowl: flour, spices, salt, and baking soda.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: eggs, syrup, pumpkin, and vanilla extract. Fold in wet ingredients to dry, continuing to mix so dry pockets disappear. Use a spatula, and pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes.
- Now make the glaze: stir together coconut cream, honey, and spices. Gently brush or spoon the glaze on top of the bread. Top with pecans if using. Slice to enjoy!
- Recipe freezes well. Bread is best frozen before the glaze is added.
