Low-carb pumpkin and walnut loaf

Moist, lightly sweet, and properly satisfying. Slice it for breakfast with Greek yoghurt and berries, or have it as an afternoon snack with a cup of tea. Keeps well for a few days, and freezes by the slice.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butternut pumpkin, cooked, cooled, and mashed
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup xylitol or erythritol granules (Bakers Secret works well)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour (Bobs Red Mill or Healtheries Baking Mix)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon mixed spice

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients together in a bowl, then add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a lined loaf tin.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean(ish).
  5. Serve with Greek yoghurt, frozen berries, and a drizzle of fibre syrup.
