Ingredients
Wet ingredients:
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree can use canned or fresh
- 1 1/2 cups shredded apple
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
Dry ingredients:
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and eggs until smooth. Mix in grated apple, vanilla extract and maple syrup.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt until all lumps are gone.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet and mix until combined. Pour the loaf batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Next, in a small bowl mix together the chopped pecans and maple syrup until the nuts are coated in syrup. Place the nuts in a line down the centre of the loaf, pressing down gently so they adhere to the surface.
- Bake for 55-60 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- If you want your loaf to have more crunch, add extra nuts to the batter before cooking. Pecans and walnuts work especially well with the pumpkin spice flavours!
- If the apple that you’re using seems to be especially juicy, wring out some of the extra juice in a cup or bowl with your hands before mixing into the batter to prevent loaf from being too moist.
- Be sure to grease the loaf pan well to prevent the loaf from sticking to the pan. You can use coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray to grease the pan.
- Allow the loaf to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan so that it has time to set.
- If you prefer more spices, feel free to increase the amount of cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice used.
