Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup coconut sugar
2 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Optional: raw pumpkin seeds to garnish the loaf

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Use 2 bowls. In the first one whisk the eggs, sugar, puree, oil, and vanilla.
In the second one, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices.
Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and fold until combined.
Transfer the pumpkin batter to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, if using.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, for about 45-50 minutes. Allow the pumpkin bread to completely cool before slicing.
