the ingredients
the wet
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup (can use honey/agave)
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
the dry
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup protein powder (I recommend Gainful!)*
1/4 cup oat flour (for paleo version, sub 1/4 cup oat flour for 1/4 cup more almond flour)
1/4 cup Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener (discount code: KTLEO)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice OR nutmeg
the extra love
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I recommend sugar-free Lily's)
handful of pumpkin seeds (optional, as always!)
* if you're picky about protein powders, you can omit the protein powder & oat flour for 1/2 cup coconut flour!
the process
- preheat oven to 350, and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
- in a medium bowl, mix "the wet" ingredients well. in a large bowl, combine all "the dry" ingredients. combine wet mixture into larger bowl with dry ingredients. once stirred well, fold in the chocolate chips.
- pour beautiful batter in lined loaf pan. sprinkle handful of pumpkin seeds on top!
- bake 38-40 minutes.
