Chia Pumpkin Bread

Took today off and besides doing laundry this morning, made pumpkin bread - via a recipe that I found online:



Chai Pumpkin Bread

Prep time: 5 mins (Eh, more like 15)

Cook time: 45 mins

Total time: 50 mins

Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 cup almond butter (or other nut butter or seed butter)
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 banana, mashed
¼ cup honey (optional- i like it sweeter)
2 eggs, whisked
2 chai tea packets (tea spices removed from packets)
3 tablespoons coconut flour
½ tablespoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together almond butter, pumpkin, banana, and eggs.
Cut open the two tea bags and remove all the tea spices from the tea bags and
add to almond butter mixture.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until well combined.
Grease a bread pan and then line it with parchment paper.
Pour batter in pan and place in oven. Bake for 45 minutes. Let rest before
slicing.

Was quite tasty, particularly with butter and honey spread on it. Very moist, and spicy. No idea how close it tastes to the traditional style of pumpkin bread, since I haven't had wheat flour pumpkin bread since 2004 and can't remember what it tastes like.

Do you find the coconut flour in the regular grocery store or do you have to find it online?

Found it in the grocery store. I rarely buy anything online, unless it is books or DVDs or gifts. All edible items were bought in grocery stores.

Although I wouldn't say regular. I had to go to Union Square Market - which is a more upscale grocery with health food items. Also, found it in the Flatbush Food Coop, and the Natural Frontiere Foods, Whole Foods, Trader Joes.

But you won't find it in a supermarket, Walmart, Target. Maybe Costco or Sam's Club. Food Town for example did not have it. Nor did Ideal or Key Foods or Met Foods - which are your typical supermarket chains.

Almond Flour and Coconut Flour are more common now - because a lot of people can't digest the other flours.
