Recipe (Re)creation: Paleo Pumpkin Seed Bread




I'm clearly on a baking kick right now, and this pumpkin bread is everything fall dreams are made of. It is low carb, gluten free, and incredibly satisfying. Equally good on its own or spread with nut butter, it makes the perfect breakfast or on-the-go snack. My kids love it too, which is always a bonus. I based my recipe on this pumpkin bread, but made some tweaks here and there. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.

Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tbsp. sunflower seeds

  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
