One Bowl Pumpkin Bread from @beamingbaker

This one bowl recipe is beyond rich and moist!

Ingredients:

– 1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

– ¼ cup melted coconut oil

– ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

– ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar

– 1 flax egg(1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 5 mins)

– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

– 2 cups of gluten free oat flour

– ½ cup of almond meal

– 1 teaspoon of baking soda

– ½ teaspoon of baking powder

– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

– ½ teaspoon of ground cloves

– ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg

– ¼ teaspoon salt

Steps: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8.5×4.5 or 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.

2. Add the wet ingredients to a large bowl: pumpkin, coconut oil, maple syrup, sugar, flax egg, and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated

3. In the same bowl, add the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond meal, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Whisk together until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain.

4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. Using a butter knife, cut a slit down the top of the loaf, making it slightly off center. This will create a beautiful split down the top of the loaf. Bake for 50-65 minutes.* Test for doneness by sticking a toothpick into the center of the loaf. The toothpick will come out clean when the loaf is done.

5. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for 2-3 hours, or until completely cool. Lift out, slice and enjoy!
