I’m very excited to present you with our third bread recipe this month! It’s Paleo Bread Month at Paleo Plan, and we’ve so far created a Paleo Herbed Focaccia and an everyday Paleo Bread. Now we’re going to spice things up a bit.
If you’re looking for an easy holiday bread that’s Paleo friendly, this pumpkin bread is perfect. Made with almond butter, arrowroot, and pure pumpkin, it’s perfectly seasoned, deliciously moist, and easy to whip up. It makes a great gift for someone living a grain-free lifestyle (or not) as well.
You can substitute any nut butter for the almond butter; just make sure it’s natural with no added sugars. One bite of this pumpkin bread and you’ll be amazed at how much this tastes just like your favorite non-Paleo version.
