Pumpkin Bread

I created this new recipe – and then made it again and tweaked it a bit. The second time, I also added cranberries.

 

I did some experimenting with the sweetness as well, removing the syrup and using olive oil, and adding more molasses. I used cranberries as well. I tweaked the flours also. It turned out moister. My man does enjoy something sweeter, like for dessert, but it is delicious toasted with butter. What I like about it is – you can make it sweeter for your taste when you eat it by adding some raw honey or maple syrup.

 

Give it a try. You could always add a banana to the mix too….maybe that will be next.

 

Oh, by the way, it is gluten-free, dairy-free.
