Paleo Pumpkin Bread has all the autumn spices of a pumpkin pie. It is refined sugar free, grain free, and gluten free.
Add chocolate chips and you can serve as a dessert alongside organic whipped cream. If you have a bullet type blender for smoothies, it whips up whipping cream in a minute.
If you have never worked with grain free flours before, it can be overwhelming. Almond flour can be found reasonably from the link in the recipe or from Costco.
I move all my flours to quart glass jars and store them in the freezer. Almond flour, we store in a 2 gallon glass jar in the refrigerator.
Buying Chocolate Chips…first look for a brand that is GMO free. However, if you desire to take it a step further, look for a brand that does not have soy lecithin. Soy lecithin is a synthetic emulsifier.
After being diagnosed with slow-growing leukemia, I committed to buying chocolate without soy lecithin. It is better for you, but as it goes also more expensive.
