From Kelsey:
I am so excited to share with you all one of my favorite pumpkin bread recipes. I am always interested in trying different Paleo recipes because this type of diet is fascinaing to me. I have never fully been Paleo, but I have been gluten free for a month having tried it during a previous internship I had, and I definitely benefited from it physically. I had more energy, my skin was clearer and my overall health was better. Since going gluten free, I have basically white and wheat flour from my diet. Instead, I choose flours such as almond, coconut and oat. It is fun experimenting with all the different options out there so I encourage everyone to try it!
While perusing through Facebook, I came across
this amazing recipe from Megsvegucation. This recipe instantly caught my
attention with the fact that it was gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free
and Paleo. It also states that it is mostly vegan. I knew that this was
something I had to try. I made it and everyone loved it. It makes me extremely
happy when I can make healthier options for my family to enjoy. The fact that
it is pumpkin is an added bonus! I plan on making as many pumpkin recipes as I
can this season.
Hope everyone enjoys
this marvelous pumpkin bread as much as I did!
