If you like pumpkin bread, you are sure to enjoy this special healthy treat. I love autumn and one of the reasons is because I love cooking and baking with pumpkin, squash, apples and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cardamom. It’s so warm and cozy, and nourishing to the body and soul.

This bread is absolutely delicious, especially for a healthy treat, and is also super easy to make. You don’t need a mixer as you don’t need to beat butter and sugar. Instead, I use warm coconut oil, which has amazing health benefits, and I use coconut sugar, which is a natural sugar that contains minerals and has a very low glycemic index. These ingredients, combine with an organic spelt flour, pastured eggs and a lot of spices, make this bread nutritious and low in sugar, flavourful, satisfying and super yummy, especially when coming out of the oven. It’s so good with a cup of organic coffee or chai tea. Are you more of a tea or coffee person? I like both.

What Is Coconut Sugar And How Is It Made?

Coconut sugar is also called coconut palm sugar. It’s a natural brown sugar that is more nutritious and low on the glycemic index compared to white sugar. Coconut sugar is the dehydrated sap of the coconut palm. It’s made by cutting the flower of the coconut palm to get the liquid sap which is placed under heat until most of the water has evaporated.

You can buy coconut sugar in almost any grocery store nowadays. You can also get it online. I personally like the Wholesome Mindfully Delicious company.

What Are The Spices Used In The Bread?

I like to use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves. If you don’t have cloves, just use more allspice. Sometimes I like to use a pumpkin spice mix but since most people don’t have that mix, I have the tendency to just use the individual spices.
