Pumpkin Bread

A nice all treat and tasty substitute to repetitive banana bread.  I mean we all have brown bananas but some times there is just tooo much banana bread around the house.  And I can only eat so many variations of banana bread, muffins, etc.

Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
heaping ½ teaspoon of cloves and cinnamon
heaping ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup pumpkin
½ cup honey
⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
3 eggs
3 tablespoons of water

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease baking pan with coconut oil.
2. In a small bowl add all the dry ingredients and toss around until all dry ingredients are incorporated into each other.
3. Then in a large bowl add 3 eggs and beat until frothy then add 1 cup pumpkin and mix until there are no more lumps then add coconut oil while mixing and continue to mix until thoroughly incorporated, then add honey and mix in as well.
4. While mixing slowly add a third of the dry ingredients into the wet followed by a third of the water and continue mixing, once slightly incorporated do the same thing and put in the next third of the dry ingredients followed by the next third of water in the bowl and continue mixing the entire time. Continue this until all the ingredients are in the large bowl and mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
5. Pour mixture into loaf pan and spread around so it is spread out evenly in the loaf pan and place in the oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. (I let mine sit in the oven overnight with the oven off.  It helped to stale the bread a little and I was sure the bread had set completely).
