Ever since I was a kid I loved to bake. Corn bread, cookies, lemon squares, brownies, are just some of my favorite treats to make. But with the demands of school, work, and now a toddler, baking has taken a back seat. Aside from whipping something up on special occasions, I really don’t have time to bake like I used to.
I stumbled across a recipe for pumpkin bread that my friend Victoria gave me a while back. So, I decided to put it to use this weekend. It’s pretty simple and easy to follow. I made a few changes for a healthier version.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Mix
3 cups organic pure cane sugar
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 egg beaten whites
1 can pumpkin pie mix
2/3 cup of water
Mix
3 1/2 whole grain brown rice flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
Walnuts- optional
Add the two mixtures and mix well. If you’re feeling nutty, throw in some walnuts- once you finish mixing. I like to make one with and one without. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes in greased and floured pans, either 6 small bread pans or 2 standard loaf pans. Use a tooth pick as a test to see if it’s ready. If the tooth pick is clean after you dip, then it’s done!
