A wholesome, savoury pumpkin loaf packed with nourishing ingredients, chia seeds and pumpkin seeds. Perfectly paired with butter, or topped with creamy avocado and eggs for a delicious, protein-rich breakfast that will keep you feeling satisfied all morning.


Ingredients

  • 185 g roasted pumpkin, cooled

  • ¼ cup avocado oil or olive oil

  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour

  • ¼ cup tapioca flour

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 pinch black pepper

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds, plus extra for topping


Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper.

  2. Prepare the wet ingredients. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted pumpkin, eggs, avocado/olive oil, melted coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. Beat gently or mix with a spoon until smooth.

  3. Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in the black pepper and chia seeds.

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Gently add the dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture in batches, stirring between each addition until everything is well combined and you have a smooth, thick batter.

  5. Add the rosemary and pumpkin seeds. Fold in the chopped fresh rosemary (or dried rosemary) and 2 to 3 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds. Reserve the remaining seeds for the topping.

  6. Transfer to the tin. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

  7. Add the topping. Sprinkle the remaining pumpkin seeds and a little extra rosemary over the top.

  8. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

  9. Cool. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the tin before removing. Once cooled, slice and serve.

Tip: Allowing the loaf to cool fully before slicing will help it set properly, as almond-flour bread can be quite delicate while warm.


Enjoy warm with a generous spread of butter, or top with avocado and eggs for the perfect savoury, protein-rich breakfast.
