Ingredients:
2 cups teff flour
1 cup coconut sugar or sugar of choice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon psyllium husk powder See Notes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk of choice we like to use oat milk
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or any vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5 or 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine the teff flour, sugar, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon nutmeg, baking soda, psyllium husk (if using), and salt. Mix well.
In another bowl combine the pumpkin, milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Whisk until smoothly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a wet spatula.
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the outside is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool completely (about 1 hour), before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes:
Psyllium husk powder is an optional ingredient. I tested this bread both with and without with good results. When made with psyllium husk, the loaf has a slightly more open, moist texture. Without it, it is slightly denser and more cake-like.
Be certain to let the loaf cool completely before slicing it. I know how hard it can be to wait, especially with the smell of delicious warming spices wafting through the air! But, you run the risk of a wet loaf if you slice too soon, as the bread sets as it cools.
