Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups gluten-free oat flour
- 1/4 cup Vanilla Grow Daily 3+
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- Optional: 1/3 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, Vanilla Grow Daily 3+, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Bring It All Together: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If you’re adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool & Enjoy: Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy a warm, cozy piece with your favorite fall drink!
