Recipe Sunday!

As the title may imply, today is Recipe Sunday! I've decided that on Sundays I will be posting gluten free recipes. Many of the recipes are for things you will recognize by name, but the ingredients will look radically different from what you've seen. Instead all-purpose flour, you'll see almond flour. Instead of sugar, you'll see honey.

So without further ado, here is the first recipe! (It's really a two for one because you can also make banana bread using this recipe)

Evan's Pumpkin Bread

2/3 cup honey
2 eggs
2/3 cup pumpkin
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cloves
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
3 cups almond flour

Cook at 310 degrees F for about an hour. You can check it by poking a knife or toothpick through the middle.

To make banana bread, eliminate the spices and add another 1/2 cup almond flour and substitute 2/3 cup pumpkin for 2 bananas and add 1/4 tsp vanilla.

You can find almond flour at Trader Joe's. If you don't have a Joe's in your area, it is also available online, or you can grind up almonds with a coffee grinder.
