Ingredients
  • 2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a loaf pan by either spraying it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil, pumpkin puree, and honey until smooth and well-combined.
  3. 3
    Next, fold in the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
  4. 4
    Gently stir in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. 5
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. 6
    Allow the loaf to cool for at least 45 minutes before slicing into 10 pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Note
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze individual slices for a quick breakfast or snack—just thaw and enjoy!
  • Optional Add-ins: Feel free to customize your loaf by adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before baking for an added flavor boost.
  • Substitutions: You can swap out the olive oil for coconut oil or melted butter if you prefer. If you need a vegan option, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water for each egg).
  • Baking Tip: If the top of the loaf starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil halfway through baking to avoid burning.
